$50,000 AWARDED. Proceeds from the estate of Miss Elizabeth Hudson, Panora, were distributed last week by trustee Bill Bump, left front. The Turn of the Century Museum Foundation in Panora and the Panorama School District both received $19,165 while the Guthrie County Hospital was given $10,000. Money to the school and hospital were designated to assist in capital expenditures to link them with the Iowa Fiber Optic Communication Network. Money to the museum foundation is for capital improvement projects. Accepting the checks were Kay Campbell for the hospital, Alex Krueger of Bagley and Hugh Teale of Panora for the museum foundation, back left and center, and superintendent Bill Weddingfeld for the school. Miss Hudson was a former school teacher who operated the Panora Hotel from 1926 until its closing in 1984. She died in December 1985 at the age of 100.
