IBD! (I'll be damned!) That's amazing. I love it when things like that happen. In 1979 a friend and I were hired by the St. Francis College in Biddeford (our alma mater) to help rip out sections of Stella Maris Hall so they could renovate it into the medical school that is there now. We opened up one wall and found they had been insulating with newspapers. One of the news stories was about the new line of forts being built to protect wagons going out to the Oregon Territories. I always wished there was some way to remove the paper from the wood but it was well attached.

Wakana and I are busy rearranging the living room and cleaning. I snuck off for a few minutes.
