| ||||||

17 | the theatre under public ownership in 1978; she received many | ||||||

| |||||||
1 | WHEREAS, Dorothy Mavrich was preceded in death by her | ||||||

5 | and Gladys (late Dr. Harold) Visotsky; her 2 nieces, Robin | ||||||
6 | Visotsky and Maria (Sean) Green; her 2 nephews, Dr. Jeffrey | ||||||
