LANDMARK BUILDINGS PROGRAM
The Commission members thanked Jean Smith for her extra effort in
getting out the public for the program. She organized the program.
Jean, Carl , and Tom were complimented on a job well done. After some
discussion some of the suggestions were more pictures and some
dialogue changes made on the buildings. It was suggested that we
plan another similiar program. Perhaps we could have it next fall

next month.
