Iron Lungs

My Uncle used an Iron Lung for over 40 years, he just past in May 2012. My cousin's has his iron lung and is looking for someone that is still using one. So if anyone is looking for a back up iron lung please let me know.

The Lobby

Pat

It is just weird to see the building like this. The Citizens Voice used to have their business out of there, believe it was their office staff. When I delivered Newspapers, the Old way, I used to have to go down there with my mom to pay them every week. That was 1979, The lobby was beautiful, wish I was more into history then, woul dhave like to look around there more.

Records

PAT

I would love to have my Great Grandmothers records.It would answer so many questions we have about what really happened to her and what her issues were.We lose her about 1884, she died in 1924. She was at the Taunton Lunatic Asylum and I would hope some records are still there,but I have no idea how to get them.

Oh what I would do for some german spatlese , auslese, or eiswein. That is some good stuff. Of course growing up with it makes me partial to it. The only american wein I drank growing up was discontinued by the time I moved statteside.

Reminds me of the train stations in Europe. I used to take the train to school and work through several different ones and it brings back memories of Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Nuernberg train stations.

This is to beautiful to let rot or a crime to tear down. I hope they save it.

I grew up with radiators and I really miss them. I wish I had them in my house. I have wonderful memories of putting our clothes on them in the winter and putting them on all nice and warm. We had beautiful ceramanic bottles hanging on them to keep the air from getting dry. The North still has houses with radiators but not here in the South it seems. Oh those wonderful days in Europe.........

I wish there were funding to save and restore all the old buildings. We lose so much history when they are torn down.
