Neal: I remember the parties in the staff residence, the old Coke machine, and the gatherings around the first TV in about 1948. I'm three years older than Judy and I think closer to being your contemporary---friend of Tommy, Herb, and Bubby. My passion was soccer; I grew up with the recent immigrants from Europe and they quickly brought me up to their standard of play. At least in my memorary that is so. Now, my youngest son plays with the same passion and dreams of the World Cup. You remind me that our world was pretty much like the norm in the 40s and 50s, from Howdy Doody to Coke. But, it was also more communal on the circle of houses than I ever found again. The physicians and staff from all I could tell were skilled, dedicated, and humane. Remember square dancing in the large room near the commisary?

Such victorian beauty!! I just love older houses. You can have your dry-wall. When they knock this place down, I don't want to know about it.

Now that is a real creepy picture! If someone would accidentally fall down there; who would know?

I said this before and I'll say it again, why do they let buildings or whatever else just sit there and fall apart and then when or IF they decide to TRY to fix it up it's,"Oh, this will cost too much." I just never understood that. Something this magnificent will someday begone forever.How much more housing do we need; or should I say NEW housing? A building like this would make BEAUTIFUL apartments!

May I ask what the point of spray-painting is?

Please don't tell me you went down those steps. They were probably very dangerous.
