Hi Dean -

In this view, we are looking /west/ across Wainwright Avenue, towards 
two large white towers (Abbott & Costello-ish : short and fat, tall and 
thin :-) ) I /believe/ the Holiday Inn is the building in the upper 
right corner.

Having not been to this part of the field (but planning to go there in 
July), I'm assuming by "large municipal water tank" you are referring to 
Abbott (closer to the parking lot). Could you explain where in /this/ 
picture the wall was?

Thanks,
Alan
