Built in 1938, Bailey Magnet's art-deco building has been marveled as an architectural wonder. Its Architect, A. Hays Town, while employed at J.W. Overstreet designed the building. It made the cover of a 1938 Life magazine for the school's forward look and his revolutionary technique of formed-in-place concrete.

There are so many kinds of Cancer - and there are more and more magnets, most specialized for a specific form. Of note in this collage is the plain pink magnet - in ways it says the most. We also have some examples that illustrate the sometimes minor differences in magnets with the same message. (sorry about the flash spot - it's the only example with the heart fill-in that I have)
[The purple survivor magnet]
I captured this one at a gas station somewhere between Houston and College Station, Texas. The owner, seeing me head over to her SUV with a camera, asked "Can I help you?" I explained my magnet photo collection. Her Story: She had selected the Purple ribbon, even though she was a breast cancer survivor (in remission for 3 years at the time).
As I haven't been getting a lot of interaction with magnet owners - I thought I'd start saying what the cause means to me, or those around me.
[A few words from my co-worker who survived Hodgkin’s disease - While the relay for life magnet isn't his - he did participate in the relay]
After being very uncomfortable and tired during our second vacation of the summer of 2000, I visited my doctor. After x-rays, CT scans and numerous other tests I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease. I had 2 lymph nodes in my chest that had turned cancerous and it was spreading. But after 6 months of treatments, I have been in remission now for 5 years. I was fortunate because with the treatments available today, this disease has a high cure rate.
[And now my own memory of cancer in the family...]
I distinctly remember when my parents had first adopted my sister my mother saying with a mix of anger and sorrow in her voice: "If mother had only said something when she first noticed that lump in her breast, we could have taken action and she could be here now to love this baby with us"
My grandmother died of cancer in 1978.

I updated the photo to include the 2 lower most right magents.

2) the owner of the pancreatic cancer magnet had a father who died of that disease.
