I have been and am trying to work with all of the owners to keep these
buildings in good condition, and am trying to find funding to restore and/or
renovate those that the owners are willing to have preserved. Some of the
buildings have changed hands within the families or through sales, so I am
trying to re-establish contacts or make connections with new owners. Am working
with the Nebraska State Historical Society, local historical societies, and the
National Trust for Historic Preservation.<br>

I’ll keep you posted as things progress throughout the coming year.<br>

<br>
Does anybody know how the Scott home in Gordon, Nebraska is doing? Is anybody
still living in it? Last I heard Lois Scott was living in it but I think I read
that she passed away August 1996, I might be mistaken. Is the home still in the
family? I would love to hear any recent update.<br>

Thanks,<br>
