Whoops. Forgot to add you after I got back home.

Thank you for some very interesting facts about the NY state capitol. Since my daughter became historian in charge of research and collections at the North Carolina state capitol about a year ago, I have become fascinated with capitol buildings.

Great pictures!

Chartres Cathedral is, in the words of the British resident guide, Malcolm Miller, "the Bible in stone and glass".

His twice daily talks, deciphering the majestic stained glass windows, were different every day, and in twenty years,never repeated.

His message "The Old Testament is the New Testament veiled; the New Testament,the Old Testament unveiled" was demonstrated time and time again in his talks.

I just might take you up on that offer. My grandson is celebrating his 1st Communion in Rexford, NY April 14 and we plan to drive back for the occasion.

That looks like anything but a cathedral.
