"Here is a photo of the Lake State Bank. The Lake City Post Office was in this bank while I was growing up. It was not a bank at that time. It was a huge vacant building, except for the post office. I don't know where the different buildings for the post office prior to that time were located. I wanted you to see a photo of the building, but will get a photo of the front from when it was used as a post office."
-- Kim Fowles, from an email to Jerry Ferrin, 8 March 2006.
