Thanks Frieda... that's very helpful and interesting, and thanks for
sharing it with the group.

I am thinking about starting a temple section for the website, that will
contain all of our photos and cards picturing the temple along with
whatever commentary and materials members such as yourself might
provide.

So, by way of this email, I invite any of the group who have
recollections to share, to send them to me. No memory is insignificant,
Everything will hopefully add to the total picture.

I will try to integrate everything into a coherent whole.

Best,
jerome
