	Lurch I noticed this on the terminal box picture too. Were these electrical wires or communication?

	Lurch Patrick, thanks for the link to the inside pictures. They are great. I think I am completely spoiled by Motts now though. As I looked through them I couldn't help thinking, "I wish Motts had been able to go in. His pictures would be so much better."

	Lurch Why the solariums? After looking through many of the galleries on this site, it seems like "clean-up" crews always seemed to drag all the unused stuff to the solariums and pile them high with trash. Motts, any thoughts on this? Or maybe the crowded solariums were the interesting storage rooms and you just didn't take pictures of the others. Just curious.

	Lurch lol dme. I could easily see that happening. "Did Bob change the board this morning? Is it really Wednesday? "

	Lurch I agree with Mary. I would guess that much of the mystery, fear and negativity surrounding places like this and also sanitariums and asylums was due to people not understanding the diseases or illnesses these patients lived with.

	Lurch Wonderful! Well, I guess the solariums did have healing or life-giving powers...

	Lurch I completely agree that being on this site and reading Lynne's comments have strongly influenced my thoughts about people with illnesses and disabilities. Her comments have also really opened my eyes about the people who work with these patients. Thank you, Lynne, for all of your posts.

	Lurch Places like this must be quite impressive while up and running. So many of us forget about the buildings and people that provide the infrastructure, like power, for the rest of us.
