Happy 100th to all that great old glass!

I have a fond memory of being greeted by a beautiful grey tarantula just
outside the library on a visit several years ago - and the T.I.E. hookups
with the 25" were a sweet deal (for Delta Rehab).

Your pride is well founded - the place is wet with history. My best to you
and all the great volunteers who helped us out up there.
