Lyman Garage

One of the funniest stories that Mike (eldest grandchild of Marvin and Margie) has told me is when the Lyman Garage burned. As a child, he came to Blanding in 1953 with his family. He remembers going to the Lyman Garage the pop machine at the garage. When the garage burned down a couple of years later, Mike's concern was only for one item. He desperately asked his mother, "Is the pop machine all right?"

???Missing Photo???
Does anyone in the family have a photo of the temporary garage that Uncle Phil designed and built? Mike has always wanted to have a picture of it. If you have a picture, please email it to me and I'll update this post. Thanks!
