Title: Salem Depot Expansion Groundbreaking
Post by: Tom Pinnick on September 12, 2012, 08:19:00 am: In June I was in Salem for the groundbreaking at the Depot Museum. I originally posted two photos that day unaware of the controversy. Since that time the problem has been resolved. I spoke with Pete Pedigo if it would be permissable to repost the photos. He responded in the affirmative. Since my photos are currently locked on an old hard drive I am posting a link to the Indiana Bull Session where I had posted the photos also. Hope it works.

I too was present at the groundbreaking, also unaware of the controversy until later. I just have one picture of part of the ceremony. I agree the museum is a good place to visit. Looking forward to the Society being relocated there.
