Milt, Got the mail awhile ago and a packet from the State Historical Society arrived. They approved the state application for the historical listing and sent the paper work to get the structures listed on the National Registy. The State Staff appoved the PSIQ under Criterion A for their association with mid-20th century military practices and Under Class C as representative arcitectural examples of their type of building. Our next step is to prepare the paperwork for the National nomination. Good news for the structures at least we can move foreward with some encouragement. I told Dee the good news as I promised to keep them updated on the progress. Phillip

The review board approved the designation and it will be listed on the State Registry and Will be sent to the National Park Service for the National Listing. One member of the review board commented that the history research on the presentation of the Parachute Building was the best of all the candidates presented today I felt really good for Sarah and Rick for them to be told this today. Rick and Sarah did a fine job in the presentation. We discussed the Historic District being a possible goal including the Navigation training and link trainer buildings. They have a good bunch of well qualified people on the review board. The chairman is the county attorney from Ness County. A couple of archelology professors one from K State and the other from K.U. A register of deeds from Wellington and several others of history background. Will fill you in more. We should all feel good about the success in this listing. The procedure was a lot more detailed than I had expected. We are moving ahead. Phillip
