BROWN MORTON: I remember adopting as a personal goal for myself. I made a map of the historic district and all of its boundaries. And then one by one by one, I filled in where there were easements. And my goal was to get the whole boundary eased. I did not succeed in that, but we got quite well into it in that some neighbors were anxious to help, and others were less anxious to help.
