October 7, 2006: Bob Morley Work Weekend. Up there above right, Paul Smith brought our
Bucyrus crawler over to
help install the buildings two main door headers. That is Virgil White standing there with the Pepsi. Above left:
hoisting the west header into place. Bob Morley told me he went and got the lumber to make the headers. Each is made
of two bolted together, 2-1/2 inch thick x 14 inches wide x 14 feet long hunks of HEAVY lumber. 6.35 centimeters (cm)
thick x 35.56 centimeters (cm) wide x 4.267 meters (m) long. Above right, (left to right) Myrna Bagge and Sharon
(Mrs Virgil) White dragged chairs over from
SER. That is David Denny in his golf cart. Below left: Kent Graham on
the ladder on the left, Keith Richards below him. Jim Goode on the ladder to the right, Virgil White below him.
Below right: Kent Graham.
Above left: Paul Smith with his Work Face on. Pauls Illinois Family were in the Dirt Business.
Paul began to operate equipment like this before he was age 10. And continued to do it for 40 years.
Here Paul is 'walking' our Bucyrus from the west side to the east side of our new 100 feet long -- 30.48 meters (m) --
Weavers Loom Barn. Paul was really concentrating as we had the
International Order of Alhambra Ben Ziri Caravan
#218 Group in, that had a LOT of young children. Here is what Ben Ziri Caravan #218 has to say about
Our Museum.
A group of our Volunteers were standing on the perimeter, waving folks who approached away, but you know how
kids can dart. Above right and below left: Hoisting the east header into place. Below right: Kent Graham again.
Above left: Eric McConnon, recently turned 14, and he began to Volunteer at Our Place at age 1-1/2.
Erics favorites are our Steam Tractors and Gas Engine Row
but, really, Eric likes EVERYTHING we have. Above right: Paul Smith. That is an unrestored Skinner two cylinder
steam engine behind Paul. Below left: Kent Grahams front and Keith Richards back. Below right:
Myrna Bagge. I split Sharon White in two, so moved a little to take another pic. Just as I did Paul Smith
walked into the frame. Below, below left.
