Raymond Whitwer, who grew up in Tilden, Nebraska is giving back - a magnificent library, build with brick, designed to last 500 years, "full of curves", with a Gates Foundation state of the art computer system and a Rumford fireplace. Ray, at eighty years of age, is on the line laying brick. We'll keep you posted.
