Hi Jim, I am responding to your question about White House stereograph views.

 * Sorry Jim, I guess that was brief, and not too helpful. I am replying on your talk page. I do this because you will automatically receive a notice of my response. I acquired the stereographs views in several places, some antique shops in Vermont and Massachusetts, and some on eBay. There is a limited number of views that were produced in the 19th century. I have examples of many, for some I have acquired 2-4 examples of the same view as he quality varies. My first choice is an actual black and white photographic print. That failing a colored one, often hand tinted can be found. Least favorite are the color lithographed ones with a visible dot matrix. i have a few of these and will buy it if it shows an angle of a room I don't have, or an architectural or furnishing detail that I don't already have. I hope that helps. CApitol3 (talk) 19:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jim. Sorry I have been away for a while. Your project sounds interesting and fun. My collection is pretty much exclusive of people as I am interested in the architecture and deocrative arts more than the occupants. I surely find the people who've lived there interesting, but my focus is on how the house looked and was used in various times. Good luck! CApitol3 (talk) 15:06, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Your addition to Creedence Clearwater Revival suggesting that their name may have come from a curch is likely wrong. The book you cited was published in 2008. Vandalism on the Second Great Awakening page listed Creedence Clearwater Church as the origin of the awakening between 2006 and 2009. This book probably got this fact from the vandalized page during that time. The vandalism is discussed on the talk page.Bryanjjones (talk) 20:16, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
