Propst Fund Ends With Over $3,058
The Propst Fund was closed out Saturday with total
contributions of $3,058.82, chairman Lewis T. Winters announced.
The fund was started several weeks ago to aid Tuscaloosa City
Police Office K. B. Propst and his family who were injured
when a boat on which they were riding exploded and burned at
Gulf Shores in May.
Killed in the explosion was Propst's 18-year-old daughter Donna.
His wife, Mrs. Mary Propst died several days later in a Mobile
hospital.
Propst and his 13-year-old daughter, Debbie were to be released
from the Mobile Infirmary Saturday and are expected to return home
the first part of the week, Winters said.
