I have correspondence from 2 different addresses:

3521 E. Kilgore Road

3621 E. Kilgore Road

Probably a large building that consumes 2 addresses.

My reference is of June, 1999.

The envelope says 3521

The message form inside the envelope says 3621

That's all I can tell you. I've never been there.
But if I were to choose, I'd say the envelope would be right.

Great Photos MLA.
I had seen the Newspaper clippings from a fellow with a Bigsby standard guitar..... and am now glad to have a digital copy.
I emailed my steel buddy Dick Dillof in Livingston Mt. I sent a few of the photos that you posted. He said Louis still plays around a bit .
Anyways thanks for the photos and info
Todd
