This is how the Falls used to look when illuminated.
This year they are not lighted up as usual.
We are getting along O.K. Will be home by Sat.

Dear Arthur,
We didn’t get to see the falls lit up this time.
Right now it’s pouring down rain.
Love,

From the dates on these messages I gather The lights were turned off during at least part of W.W. II.  Can anyone varify that?  If yes can you tell us why?  Could it have been to save power or hide the location?   Would like to have any information you can share with us.
