<DIV><FONT size=4>I'd love to have a copy. That night was brutal.
Thankfully everyone was at a Fire Department function so response time for
volunteers was most excellent. I remember waiting my turn to go change out
of a long dress while we were serving coffee and stuff. Merchants were
opening their stores to get needed supplies for the fireman.</FONT></DIV>

was daytime. The Stephen F Austin Building has a twin I believe at the
Stephen F Austin College? Don't remember the exact location.</FONT></DIV>

did a historical piece on Old Main a couple of years ago for Sam’s

AutoCad and 3d Studio Max from blueprints, photos, and a few oral

few. If you like, I will pass one on.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
