Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Oldiesmann: So sorry for your loss Carol. Praying for you and your family :( 2022-05-01, 17:13:05

Carol: My husband Don is with the angels.....Our family was able to hold  ourselves together for the last moments.  Juar rhoufhr you might want to know. 2022-04-29, 23:35:15

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

Used to climb these stairs at least twice a day, between classes.   My favorite study hangout.

These murals are the largest works done by Grant Wood (of "American Gothic" fame)

I replied to this last night and for some wierd reason it went up in cyber smoke!

This is an absolutely beautiful building.  I have a big love of books as did our Dad.  I can see those tables full with students studying.   There would be no shortage of natural daytime light either, much easier on the eyes.

How many of the murals are there?

That stairwell has 12 of them, all of them unique, as Grant Wood did not otherwise paint murals.

Imagine an 18-yo country boy, first encountering this building.  It was my refuge and my study nook.

1965.   I just turned 60 this month.   My wife turned 60 late in May.   She hates it when I tell people I married an older woman.   ;D
