Album: 1997: Canterbury Episcopal Fellowship: Canterbury House Renovations

These pictures are from the great Canterbury House renovations during the summer of 1997. Many of them were taken by Mary Peyton Swann, with a digital camera that belogned to Marty Sinclair's dad. The comments on those photos were also written by Mary Peyton, though I have since edited them. Some of the later pictures in this folder were taken by me on a slightly later trip, when I went up to Blacksburg for the summer planning meeting.
