Abstract:

The Thomas Wolfe Memorial begins recovery efforts after a fire devastated the historic boardinghouse in 1998. Fund-raising started the day of the fire, donations have been sent in from as far as California, London and Japan. Only a portion of recovery costs are covered by insurance; and efforts will rely on continued donation and volunteer support.
