Don't recall the call letters, but it must be the same spot.   My dad was
always very proud to show us that little building up there as he detoured
past it on the way home whenever we did a "Sunday drive" family outing with
ice cream cones from Purity.

Re. the little stone cottage on Mount Pleasant, that was my favourite magic
place.   I never saw it occupied, and spent many happy hours imagining life
up there.   During Arch. school at CU, I used it for a materials study,
making pencil sketches of the mortar failures and beautiful stone shapes.
The Prof. wondered why I wasted so much time studying such an insignificant
building when I could have been studying the new Uris Library.   Memory of
it still colours my life.
