General Notes

Note

Notes: Condition Notes - Oct. 2001: The Guest Books were from 1963 thru 1992. The books were extremely musty and many had started to mildew. Due to the condition of these books and also because we could not reasonably store 30 years worth of bulky guest books, the decision was made to carefully study the contents and remove the pages of historical and significant interest. Status: OK
