Wow.. tahts pretty awesome mike... I like the letter from 1903! Reminds me of when we found all the books and records up in the closed off loft of that one building that had been up there untouched for 100 years! that was awesome!

Thanks for the reply. This material came from the same place! A thin rock climber friend was with me so he climbed up and retrieved this round of records.
