I hope the customers liked the restaurant. If I thought about dropping out of college, all I had to do was think of the hard work and low pay at the Forum. I am sorry for the firemen who lost their lives when it burned down. Thank you Dr. Gale for keeping up your interesting site.<br /> HLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297551245968100287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698674352470153088.post-15051527761747762532017-01-27T13:01:49.176-06:002017-01-27T13:01:49.176-06:00"Stained glass murals were set at intervals i..."Stained glass murals were set at intervals in the cafeteria's green Vitrolite (Vitrolite was an opaque pigmented glass used as tiles) wall, and were reflected in the mirrors on the opposite side."
