April 1974: 50th anniversary at the Exchange where Lydia Wright was gifted a corsage by the board of managers as an Easter gift to commemorate her anniversary. In December of 1975, it was decided that she would be gifted a hand-picked watch with her initials and ‘1975’ engraved on it to again honor her time at the Exchange.
