Hello Ron, This is Monica at the Schminck Museum in Lakeview. Haven't written in awhile. I have a request for photos and history about the Summer Lake Hot Springs in Paisley. Can't find much at the museum. Could you help get the word out that I am looking for this information? Thanks, Monica ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronald S.
