(Clarinda) Fundraising is underway for a roadside mural of Glen Miller south of Clarinda.
According to the Clarinda City Council minutes, Gary Alger, representing the Clarinda Class of 1959 and the Glenn Miller Birthplace Society, showed the council several renditions of the proposed mural. Alger said this started when a classmate of his approached him with the idea and his classmate is friends with the well- known mural artist, John Cerney. Alger said the mural would be on Highway 71 south of Clarinda.
Alger told the council the project would be around $10,000 and all donations would be appreciated. Anyone interested in the project is asked to contact Gary Alger or send a check to the Glenn Miller Birthplace Society with the memo to Miller Mural as a tax-deductible donation.
