Kalispell.
In addition to my experience, I have a strong interest in local history of both the Flathead
Valley and the Tobacco Valley. I spent time exploring historical areas from rural school.
houses to historical mansions.
I am willing to roll up my sleeves and pitch in with whatever work is necessary for the

Re: Conrad Mansion Board
Dear Mayor Kennedy:
I recently read an article in the newspaper that you have an opening on the Conrad
Mansion Board. I would very much like to serve on that board. The news paper stated
that all board members must own property in Kalispell. Currently I own part of three
properties in Kalispell. [Elms Apartment on aid Ave. West; Office Building at No. 1
Sunset Plaza; 4 h floor of Professional View Office in Buffalo Commons]
If you feel that I can be of some value to the Board I would appreciate your support.
Sincerely:

Dear Mayor Kennedy,
In November of 2003 I wrote a letter to you and the City Council in support of Mark Munsinger's
appointment to the Conrad Mansion Museum Board. You did appoint Mark, who filled the seat
vacated by Norb Donohue. Norb had resigned and Mark finished out the remaining two years of
Norb's four year terra. I am writing now to ask that you please consider positively the
re -appointment of Mark Munsinger as a City representative to the Mansion Board.
Marls has proven himself to be a valuable Board member and volunteer at the Mansion. As a
professional engineer, his perspective and experience has guided us on varicly of issues. He under-
stands and is a proponent of the Mansion's importance in our community, participates actively on
the Board, and continues to give of his time and talent during our main fundraiser event, Christma25
of the Mansion, as he has for many years.
Mark's youth, enthusiasm, and commitment are qualities all of the Board members appreciate, and
we consider him a valuable asset to the Museum's organization. Please know that Mark has illN, full
support. I would be happy to talk- with you further if you have any comments or questions; feel free
to give me a call anytime.
As an aside, we have recently hired a new manager at the Mansion, Kate J\400dy of Whitefish,
She started orientation and training bout two weeks ago. As a Board, we spent manv, manv hours
posting the job, reviewing resumes, interviewing candidates and making a final (difficult') decision.
I am delighted with our choice, if I do say so myself, and look forivard to a long working relationship
with this dynamic young WOnlan,
Thank you, Pam.
