- Item 11: Marian Meyers
Interviewed by Ann Sande, May 27, 1977
In Marian Meyers' earliest recollections of Alice Hunter, from around 1915, Hunter was a beautifully dressed, apparently wealthy university student. Meyers said she was shocked by the dramatic change in Hunter's appearance between then and the mid-1920s, when Hunter returned to Grand Forks after earning her medical degree. Over the years, Hunter grew withdrawn and eccentric.
When Meyers was president of the Grand Forks Senior Citizens, from 1973 to 1975, she saw Hunter frequently. Meyers recalled Hunter speaking often about her father, a banker, and the papers she had which had belonged to him. Meyers said Hunter was never very active in the organization, but often attended bazaars and lunches.
Events discussed in the interview date from 1915 to the 1970s.
