Laying of the "Corner Stone"'
(Woody Woodward speaking here)
These are scans of photos and graphics we were
given by the architects we met with at the 4/29/2002 Senior Squares Project meeting. They are in chronological order, with minimal comment or
description.
Thanks goes out to George
Apfel (AKA George Thomas of local radio fame), LVHS class of '71, for scanning them. He
even captioned a couple of them while he was a student and member of the "Desert
Breeze" staff.
A
majority of the photos came from
the collection at UNLV.
