THERE IS A PLAQUE ON AN ARCHWAY NEAR THE AIRPORT IN LA
PAZ AS ONE GOES DOWN TO THE CITY FROM THE PLATEAU --
IT IS NOW IN A RELATIVELY POOR AREA WHICH HAS BUILT UP
AROUND IT. THE PLAQUE IS IN MEMORY OF MY GRANDFATHER,
FRANK EDWARD FAWCETT, FOR HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE LA
PAZ CITY TRAFFIC CONTROL (PARKING METERS AND TRAFFIC
LIGHTS) IN THE LATE 1930s/EARLY 1940s.

IS THERE ANYONE VISITING OR LIVING IN LA PAZ WHO COULD
PLEASE PHOTOGRAPH IT FOR ME, AS WELL AS PERHAPS A
COUPLE OF OTHER LOCATIONS THERE? I WILL PAY FILM AND
DEVELOPING COSTS AND POSTAGE. I LIVE IN THE
WASHINGTON DC METRO AREA. WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

MANY THANKS!

MARGIE PETERS-FAWCETT
