General Notes

Note

Notes: This print was made from a glass negative belonging to Lois Sunstrom. The prints were received Oct. 22, 2001 from Lois Sunstrom. Lois's friend, Pat Mulvihill, purchased the glass negatives at a garage sale and because Lois's family had owned the light station building from Dunlap Reef for many years, gave the glass negatives to Lois, who had the prints made. Status: OK
