Recently, Mary and I were reflecting upon the brilliance of your design.   Hundreds and hundreds of people have passed through the doors.  Our home has served as a gathering space for all types of events, large and small.   In addition, it has been the most comfortable of homes for Mary and me.

We are grateful.
