First Sergeant TC Speaks (Retired), personal conversation, October 26, 2010. Sergeant Speaks is listed by Kitchens, et al (47), as having maintained an historical file in 2005, but he has since retired and did not know the status of this file. Speaks is also listed in Kitchens, et al, as indicating that “instances of violence” ended facility rentals in 2002. Kitchens, et al, also report that the 1964 armory was built in 1968, but the dedicatory plaque in the lobby indicates a completion date of June 18, 1964.
