Thanks for the history and the memories. My neighbor, Doug Tyler, back in the 60's painted many old barns in MI. One of the paintings was that of Paul Revere on a barn in Fenton MI.

CWO3 Dennis M. - I am so horrified. And grateful all my kids are long out of our schools...the grandkids will probably need to be reeducated.
