Hi Laura.
I discovered your blog while on vacation in Portland of all places as I had time on my hands to research Calgary's architectural heritage and what's being done to preserve it. I have incorporated this topic into my studies towards my Masters in Professional Communication at Royal Roads University and would appreciate the chance to speak to you in particular about Calgary's mid-century bungalow and it's future.
I hope this message reaches you. You can contact me at n_black@rogers.com.
Thanks and I look forward to speaking with you.

Pam - thank you! We are losing a lot of our barns here in Alberta so I think it's important to document as many as possible.
Nancy - I would love to talk with you further about the fate of the MCM bungalow. I will send you an email.
Beautiful shots, and thank you for preserving their memory!
