Myrna had asked a couple weeks ago if Jarhead had pictures of the old mill and here they are.

Waldo, thanks for posting these pictures.  I am glad to see them, I'm sure Mother will too.

You are welcome.

Hope that Jarhead can come up with some more.

My first thought on these photos was that the pictures were after 1893 because that looks like the old iron bridge in the background.

My second thought was that anyone could dam up the river, if they wanted to.

Myrna,
It's not easy getting Waldo to do my dirty work. He drives a hard bargain and for this last task he wanted my first born male child--------------------Sooooo---the onrey little cuss is on a West bound Grey Hound bus as we speak.

Jarhead,

Send as many as you've got and I will post them.

Just as an aside, Greyhound buses are now running in England.

Jarhead, I'm thinking the least you could have done was put him on a train going west! ;D ;D

Guns, I was fibbing anyway. As you know I have 3 daughters, no onery boys, but I wanted to see how fast ol Waldo would make tracks if he thought he had to raise a young'n in his old age . :)
