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>

<p>This IS Raven's Fort's 20th Anniversary coming up, right? If I'm not
mistaken, Baron and Baroness Raven's Fort were invested on 23 September,
A.S. XXIV (1989).</p></div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p>In a strange coincidence, the cornerstone of the Old Main building at
what was then the Sam Houston Normal Institute was laid on 23 September
1889 :-)</p></div>
