Hi CeejayCliff! Thank you for your detailed comment about the photo. It's fascinating to hear about the history of Mag Val Inc and your time working for them. I'm curious, what other memories do you have from that time period in Lake County? Were there any other notable landmarks or establishments? We'd love to hear more about your experiences!
