I am looking for a picture of my mother, Mary Margaret Olmsted Schaab who graduated in 1938. She was the first MUD Queen at D’Youville. She is now 95 1/2 and not in good health. If you could email a picture of her as MUD Queen and possible her graduation picture I would be most grateful. I would like to frame them for her as one of her memories. Thanks for your assistance in this matter.
