The Ballot

May 3, 1988 Primary Ballot, Alexandria-Monroe School Corporation, Alexandria, Indiana

With primary season upon us, thought I would share this primary ballot from May 3, 1988, when my father ran for school board of the Alexandria-Monroe School Corporation in Alexandria, Indiana.  Happy to say he was successful, and served for 12 years.
