They still put up the Santa and Reindeer on one of the bank buildings.
They change names so often, that I don't remember which bank it is
today. The wreath is put up too. When our kids were little they always
wanted to go see The Magic Windows at Wolf and Dessauer.
We still live in Fort Wayne, but so many of those familiar sites are gone.

A belated Merry Christmas to you all, and a Happy, Blessed New Year.
I used to live in DeKalb County when I was a child, and every Christmas time
we went to Fort Wayne to see the Magic Window and Wolf & Dessauers, and the
big Christmas tree that was set up over an intersection in Fort Wayne. I
know that W&D's is gone, but do they still put up the big tree over the
intersection?
I've just been reminiscing about Christmas when I was little.
Thanks!
Yours in Christ,
Debbie
A couple of years ago, someone on this list sent me a color photo of the
decorative lights that they always put up at Wolf and Dessauer's in the 40's and
50's. I wonder if those decorations -- a large wreath and Santa Claus --
are used anywhere else?
I know that RW lists won't take attachments, but if anyone is interested in
the photo, contact me off-list and I'll send it to you.
