ISHPEMING — Forget-Me-Not Day, sponsored by the Disabled American Veterans, will be observed in Ishpeming and Negaunee tomorrow. Volunteers will be on the streets offering the little blue flowers of remembrance, Philip H. Stein, chairman of the event for the Ishpeming-Negaunee DAV Chapter said. All funds contributed on Forget-Me-Not Day will be utilized entirely in the area to help disabled veterans. Funds are needed, Stein said, because the same type of emergencies hit disabled veterans and their families as hit other families.
