Salem Depot Expansion Groundbreaking
« 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.

We'll see.

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.

I recognize Cecil but who are the other 3 men with shovels?

One was the Salem Mayor. Cecil will have to fill in the blanks on them.

If they come up with a shovel that can stand up by itself, most of you will be out of a job  8) 8)
