Then Mr. Brocious was beside him, looking up at me. "That man's not naked, Alan. He has clothes on."
   "Yeah, now he does. But look at how funny the clothes look. I bet that underneath them he's still naked!"
   "Come on, Al. He's wearing a 'suit' like you see in old movies. That bright rope-thing around his neck is a 'tie'. Lots of people used to dress like that when I was a kid. He's probably our guide --- they often dress in period costume."
   Well, I could see that Alan was not satisfied and so, with an uncomfortable wave to the pair below, I backed away from the railing and entered a short passageway that led to the front of the building. Here I was surprised to see Donna Hartle leading a bunch of visitors on a tour of the place. I tagged along behind and endeavored to keep my mouth shut and my ears wide open. She led us into the front rooms where the warden had once lived with his family. The walls were covered with art, needlework and photographs.
   "These are the Arts Council Rooms," said Donna. "As with all the rooms in the Castle, you can get further information on any work of art, photograph, or artifact by making use of the screen at the corner of the room."
   "Where do all of these videos come from?" I blurted out without thinking.
   Hartle gave me a funny look as she took in my dress, and then answered, "I've not heard them called 'videos' in a dozen years. But, to answer your question, let me elaborate on what I told the rest of the group at the start of the tour. What you call 'videos', we call 'tracks," and they are made by the people of our community. High School students are required to do a Senior Project, and this often takes the form of a new track for the Castle. It might be about the family business, or about a hobby, or about some historical or geographical aspect of our area. Also, the University has courses in Local Culture and how this differs from what used to be called Popular Culture --- TV shows and such-like that are always about someplace else and someone else's troubles. For these courses, students must prepare tracks on some aspect of Clarion County, and these too become part of our collection. Lastly, many individuals make their own entries for inclusion in the archives, and in fact there are firms here in town that will make a track for you. There are tracks created by Boy Scouts who are working on their Eagle badges; tracks that are the work of retirees who seek remembrance for themselves, a loved one or a hobby; and tracks that are the work of clubs and fraternal organizations. The quality of the tracks varies considerably, but they are all real and true glimpses of life in Clarion as it was and is. They are invaluable in saving the history of our little part of the world, and in showing people, especially the young, how our community and local culture works. As the tracks grow old and dated, they are replaced with newer versions, but the older ones are by then historical artifacts themselves, and are fascinating snapshots of day-to-day life in the recent past. Our earliest tracks that deal with 'current events' are now almost 25 years old, and are quite amusing and instructive to watch."
   Then she smiled and added, "In those old tracks many of the gentlemen dress just like you!"
   Everyone swiveled to stare at me in, what I suddenly felt to be, my rumpled old-fashioned suit. I heard a few chuckles. I was very nervous and quickly asked another question to shift attention back to our guide, "But, this must cost a fortune. Who pays for it all? Who owns the building?"
