Inspiration Sunshine
Iris wrote many letters of cheer and encouragement (her terms) to people who were called in mid-20th century "shut-ins". Aptly called, because at that time many were literally shut in. She raised money so that one man could simply get a wheelchair. A more normal life was just not handicapped accessible.
She published their news and poems in a monthly newsletter typed on what's now quite an antique typewriter. Special ink from the original paper penetrated a hard jelly-like material in an 8 1/2 X 11 inch tray. Moistened sheets placed on that material produced copies. Later a printer made the copies.
Every Christmas with kids help she made pamphlets to send from cut-up cards (collected year-round) with inspiring messages. She wrote thousands of letters to people from around the world.
