Lunch in Bridgeport, TX

 Today I had a chance to have lunch with Porcia Vaughn in Bridgeport, TX. She stopped to see me and "cousins" Pat and Jim on her way back to Dallas from a conference in Lubbock.
Porcia is finishing her master's degree in Library Science at SMU in December. Congratulations, Porcia.

Warmest regards, Gus

Nebraska State Capitol

 Today I was in Lincoln, NE, and visted the state capitol. At the capitol I met Loretta, who provided me with lots of information about the building and the city of Lincoln.
This structure is actually the third capitol building since Nebraska became a state in 1867. The building was designed by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, and construction was started in 1922. Construction was completed in 1932 at a cost of $9.8 million. Until recently, it was the tallest building in the state.

Loretta, thanks for the all the help, and thanks for letting me have a picture taken with you.

Warmest regards, Gus
