were donated in hopes of finding an appropriate place to display them. In viewing the historic recording
display at WOW, staff suggested that it may be an excellent place to display the Gram -O -Phone. WOW
staff agree and indicated that they would construct a Plexiglas protective case and plaque recognizing
the Kirst donation. Staff contacted representatives of the Kirst Family who support the loan of the Gram -
O -Phone to WOW. The Gram -O -Phone will be returned to the City upon the termination of the recording
display.
