Taking a break. Carla Summa was a great help, as was Annette Kaplan(local). Joe Farley is now the president of TCAA. Mike Perry really knocked himself out working outside, and Linda did a great job supervising! Just kidding Linda |

Marla Tollett-Ross helps with the chapel. We were concerned about dust and mold so tried to wear masks, but that didn't last too long. They were too uncomfortable and hot. |

This is the room below Leitch Chapel, on the 1st floor. In the 60's and earlier, before Thompson library was built, this room served as the library. But what was it in the 70's and 80's? |
|
Joe and Mary ventured up in the attic, but Mary said she didn't make it up to the windows. She's not quite as agile and daring as she was 35 years or so ago |
|
Mary zoomed in to get a photo of the graffitti on the wall. She didn't find her name. |
|
From the attic to the basement - Mary explored a lot of places in Rankin Hall that she hadn't ever seen before. |
|
Cosetta McQueen. We had to use shovels for some of the more "undesirable" jobs, such as scooping up racoon poop! |
|
This is some of the trash that was thrown away. |
