This past week a treasured landmark in the city of Provo, Utah was destroyed by fire. Apparently the building is a total loss. When my wife and I and our little family were students at BYU, we used to attend our Stake Conferences in the old beautiful building. I used to enjoy the stained glass windows and the wonderful handiwork of the pioneers who built this grand building.
Here below is the way I will always remember the Provo Tabernacle; the last time I saw it. A wonderful old building.
I have attached a news clipping from the Daily Herald in Provo, that tells about the tragic fire.

Our wonderful daughter-iin-law Jill sent me this great video about a performance that took place in the tabernacle. She plays the cello and since I used to play the violin, we both appreciate the great talent of this young man.

Hi Jeff, You should see this lovely old building now, snow dusting the charred remains... it's heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteSay, I wonder if in your many engineering projects, you have come cross this old toy and perhaps know the name? A fellow artist friend is searching for it. If you know would you let me know?
Thanks!
Merry Christmas to you guys!
Love Lisa
