Goodbye dear friend. Most of the alumni know about the fire that destroyed Gate Cottage. The memories that flowed from that building will be hard to replace. However, we will work hard to preserve each one. A big thank you goes out to the people who logged in on tfchistory, not only to view the photos taken by those who were eyewitnesses, but also to leave notes of remembrance on our comment page. As many of you pointed out, God promises to bring “beauty from ashes.” This is His personal word to us as we go forward into the future.
