<DIV>Austin College moved from Huntsville to--I believe--Sherman, TX. Either
Sherman or Denison, but I think Sherman.</DIV>

the fireman.</FONT></DIV>

<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">I did a historical piece
on Old Main a couple of years ago for Sam’s 125<SUP>th</SUP> year
celebration. We reconstructed a 3d model in AutoCad and 3d Studio
Max from blueprints, photos, and a few oral accounts. Don Charles
has a copy of the DVD and I still have a few. If you like, I will
pass one on.</SPAN></P>

accounts passed on the story of having seen the blaze in
Madisonville. It seems that the hill where Old Main is located is
the highest point between the Gulf of Mexico and just southwest of
Dallas.</SPAN></P>
