Thanks for your reply!

Yes, I have access to that book, and that's what I read, too. I think I've been confused from an account given at http://cecilpjr.tripod.com/d581.htm#P581 because this person repeats the same information for both Noel Skelton and his son, Noel Larkin Skelton. So I had thought the father had built the temporary one and the son built the permanent one. Looking a little closer at this account, I can see it's just a problem with the way this information was presented on this web site.

Either way, it's nice to know I had a ggggrandfather who was a part of history!
