J Lucas,
Yeah, I think maybe you're right. Thing I can't figure, is how this 1-mile square town would have gotten a truck in 1944. From what I've heard, unless it was military, OR they had defense industry in town, they couldn't GET a truck in 44.
Ah well, the mystery lives on. BTW, LOVE seeing your building go up. Esp. love seeing old stovebolts get to move inside. (That IS why you built it, right?!)
Thanks for your help,
-Michael
