When riding bicycles on country roads around Glen Rose, I have been by the building many times.  I told my friend Kalleen about the possible loss of the ruins.  She works often in Glen Rose, and she was aware of the highway bypass project.  She told me that she was going to try to make the meeting.

My friend was not working in Glen Rose that day as she had planned.  She did not attend the meeting, so I don't have a report.
