had any historical value was on the National Registry after you had demolished it.

Funniest thing to ever happen at a commission meeting: When the custodian changed
cleaning products used on the Commissioners’ chairs and all three kept sliding off their chairs during the commission meeting.
Commission Staff: Cindy Whetsell, Administrator and Phyllis Corathers, Administrative Assistant.
