Mrs. Sue Timken, wife of Ambassador Timken, paid a visit to the Salvation Army headquarters in Dresden, where she participated in the distribution of lunches to about 60 homeless people. She met with the director, Major Jim Garrington, who provided a briefing on the group’s operations in the Dresden area and throughout eastern Germany. Mrs. Timken received a good understanding of the nature of the homeless problem in Dresden and other eastern cities, and how the Salvation Army raises funds in Germany. Salvation Army officials also appreciated her thoughts and advice on fund raising.
