When I first started in practice (40 years ago, wow!), I had a pair of spinster sisters in their 90's; their father was the first US territorial governor of Alaska. They grew up at the then capital - Sitka!

  2. I took a good ten minutes perusing through the photos, they were quite a few nicely setup tables. The Arnhem Bridge table when fully setup included a mirror at end of table that made it look really cool.

    Cheers
