Frey for her receipt of the Liberty Bell Award and for her many years of dedicated service. Mayor Corbett: We have already gone through the presentation portion; however, Olga Frey is here now and I would like to go back and make the presentation to Olga Frey. Mayor Corbett: Called forward Olga Frey and presented the Proclamation. Mrs. Frey: Thank you Mayor Corbett. The Mayor and Council Member Loeffler can take a nap because they have heard my story. You can't possibly get to a spot like this by yourself. I would like to tell you about my greatest supporter. It was 1930, my sixth grade teacher said you have to go to college. I was so naive I thought that was a town. I went home and asked my mother, how do you get to college. My mother sat me down and taught me the facts of life and told me that I would have to forget college. I reported this to my teacher; she said oh no, you mustn't forget this. My mother was the kind of baker that her pies would get first place. She said, if you will go out and deliver before and after school I will bake. We did this for six years. For those six years, my mother never went to bed. With that kind of support I had to succeed. I asked how I could ever repay her. I said mama I don't know how I could possibly repay you. She said, all you have to do is be kind to others and help them. Council Member Glaze: I noticed the frame was not in purple. We should have gotten a purple frame. We have always known Mrs. Frey as the lady in purple. The first thing you would notice in Mrs. Frey's office was her purple desk.
