Hi All, As planned I spent the day with my long time site helper Linda Cracraft touring the northwestern townships of Tioga County. It was a PERFECT photo day with sun and low humidity so I got some spectacular photos that will be showing up on the site. We also dropped in thinking we'd surprise site guest Melva Calaman in Sabinsville, but she opened the door with "You're Linda and You're Joyce." I guess we are just not the surprising type. She had just read her email and was hoping we'd show up. We had a great visit with her then went to a picnic of Little Marsh people which they hold every month or so at a park near Knoxville. Met some nice people one of whom gave us a good tour so I got some old school photos and great scenery shots. Linda and I really had a great time touring the area. The real TREAT for me and for you is that when I went back through Lawrenceville, I saw a great big wall mural on the side of a building entitled Lawrenceville 1900. I screeched to a halt wondering how I could ever have missed that. I went to photograph it and found the artist himself at work on this wonderful NEW creation. It is so beautiful. It covers the side of a building and he is using turn of the century postcards as his models. He is retaining the wonderful sepia colors of the old photos. Anyway you don't have to take just my word that it is spectacular, as I have added photos of Tim Allen at work on his 1900 mural to the site's 1900 museum. I hope all of you will take a look at this and encourage other communities to something as wonderful with their historic past. Joyce M.
