Work Day - May 12 - Asbestos Checked!
Looks like I slipped again! Didn't get a message sent to announce the work day. Sure glad you all are getting used to us working every Saturday! We had a great turn out! Jenny sent pizza for all the volunteers. We had 10 folks work the entire day and 4 pop in for a few hours! Whew, what a great day! - Also, for all of those concerned folks who have called me, please rest assured we have no asbestos! Bob Hamilton is AHERA Certified. He showed up and ruled out any asbestos. Of course, we already knew we were safe, but it's a great idea to have that label behind the name just to cover the bases. So now everyone can rest easy and come on over to see the progress! We are moving right along with the tear off phase. It's amazing how much bigger the rooms appear without dark paneling on them. By the way, was anyone around in 1900 to tell us how folks got to the second floor of the courthouse? We thought we might uncover some stairs or something, but no such luck.

Wanted to thank Noman for coming in and "helping" us out. Noman is probably the oldest Society member. If he can come in at 90+ years and contribute to the restoration effort, then everyone can! He told stories and shared memories and cheered us on in the room we have kept dust free. There truly is a job for everyone! Also, thanks to the teens, Devin, Grace and Josi, who have been back twice now. How refreshing to have young people interested in history; not to mention young legs to run up and down those stairs!
