                <text>These items are from the personal files of Faye Wilson Leach.  &#13;
&#13;
The first set of items are from her membership in the social sorority XI Delta Pi.  There are photographic slides, membership directories and event programs.&#13;
&#13;
After that, the items are a bit more jumbled.  Roughly, there are three kinds of materials:&#13;
&#13;
1) Purely family items, including both printed items, such as letters, and photographs&#13;
&#13;
2) Fairmount United Church of Christ items, including church directories and photographs&#13;
&#13;
3) Wichita items, including materials about businesses and people.&#13;
&#13;
Many of these items are recent, copyrighted, or refer to living people, so, while they are in the digital database, they are not available on the web-based interface.  If you find something intriguing in this collection online, there is a very good chance that there are additional materials not online.  You may search and view these in our library.</text>
