If a sound control appears below, you may push the "play" button to hear David Ballard tell the story of the origins of the bell at Camp Thomas E Lightfoot. Note the link for additional historical information. Clicking the picture of Ballard (below-right) is another way to hear the story of the bell, in the event your browser is not rigged for sound consoles. |
After hearing Ballard's story, click here to read about the "Maybeury train wreck" (which actually occurred in the summer of 1937) and see photos. |
A word about sound files: | |
Hoping to enhance our visitors' enjoyment of this site, we have
placed a few snippets of sound here and there. 1) Different browsers handle these differently, so if you encounter problems, please let us know via email to mailbox@CampLightfoot.org, so we can send the JC Boss to attempt repairs. 2) Download times vary depending partly on your connection to the internet, and the first time you hear a given audio file, the sound may be inconsistent and intermittent (jerky). Future playbacks should be smoother, unless you wait a long time between visits, or your browser is set to discard temporary web files after just a short period. 3) Our setup tries to make a control appear on your screen, so you can pause, rewind, stop or fastforward through the audio track, but different browsers handle this different ways. |
