I have a few slides I will direct to you of major flooding in this area from Typhoon Flossie in Sept. of 1969. Lastly, regarding the last photo; and the large building (hotel?), do you have an inclination as to the location based upon your knowledge of the "old" street locations? Is this building more towards or in the area of Min Chuan Rd. west; or is my "old" compass of what I am viewing incorrect? <br />Thank you for your continued efforts. <br />Regards, Mark Phipps (1968-69) <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
