Dharathula Millender

To the family of Mrs. Dharathula Millender: It is never too late to say thank you. Mrs. Millender was my school librarian at Pulaski Junior High in Gary, IN. She was an inspiration, role model and mentor to each and every student she worked with. After I found out that she had written a book about Crispus Attucks, she may have unwittingly inspired me to become a writer.

Our MOTHER - DOLLY MILLENDER - loved Gary and Gary's history. Her biggest dream, unfortunately, did not materialize before her passing. However, a committee to save and renovate Gary's Treasure, The Gary Land Company (Gary's 1st building), has been developed in her honor and that of our City and those who built it. Anyone wishing to join this Preservation Committee, may contact Daughter NAOMI MILLENDER (219) 902-0524 or 882-6873 or email: [email protected]

Dear Naomi, God bless the memory of your dear Mother and Best Friend, Dolly Millender. All the best to you as you continue a new life without her presence. May she rest in peace.
Love,

I'll never forget this powerful lady. I meet her very soon after returning from Indiana State University. She was always willing to give a encouraging word, or share knowledge from long extensive experience as an educator, public servant, or life in general. A mighty soldier has gone to a well deserved rest.
