Paul,

Yeah, obviously I was not too pleased taking these. Fortunately I do have some older ones to dig out.

Rick,

Nifty (although not very happy) photos! I'm glad you were able to get a shot of it when it was still whole. It must have been sad to see a landmark like that go down.

December 1996, one last look before the end.
