suggestion Trf thejourt, wrote a
check for the full balance, in-
perjured herself by denying

He wonders if people already
Donations to the nonprofit
corpotgtion that operates the
chapel have dwindled to barely
a trickle, he said, and a search
for support from charitable
foundations was fruitless'. ,
The chapel, located just off
U.S. 64 and 20 miles south of
Eagle Nest, remains an orphan,
supported by the family that
conceived and nurtured it.
It is not marked on official
state maps. Bills, proposed in
Congress to have the chapel
designated a national memorial
flounder without action.
Visitors, ’’fohoWestphall said
once numbered more than 25,-
000 a syear, c5me less
frequently now.
“After all this time,” West-
phall said, “the chapel is open
only when I’m here with the
key to open it.” ,r .

Some people have come
long distances just to see it,

Fulcher ordered Mrs. Ingram
to return the dog within 30 days
to submit evidence she
didn't have the dog* and
couldn’t’ deliver it.
The base lay dormant until
April 1976, when Mrs. Ingram

in affidavits alleging that, she
