Would You Take, Keep ?

I would build a memorial garden and place them there. They are a symbol of what happened and we need to pay our respects to those that lost their lives.

I was only two or three when it happened. So you can guess how unimportant it was to me at the time.

It would be neat if you could get a stone pillar of stone pillar of some kind made, have the flur de lis set in the pillar, and have a commemoration of some kind carved right underneath of it - "in memory of those who lost their lives..." The pillar can have a slab of stone set on top of it to shield the flur de lis from the elements a little bit. The pillar could be in the center of your commemoration garden. I could only imagine how long something like that would last.

Just thinking out load here...

edit: not sure if "commemoration" is the word that I was looking for here.

Yes, I think they are to be treasured, too.

I haven't seen what she has, we are going to try and get togather this weekend. Red if not to heavy will send you one. I remember how many men it took to carry in my granite counter top.

I am so glad that you decided to make them part of your garden. Being right there in the state where this disaster occurred makes it even more important.

I wrote the above yesterday. I thought your call meant you were keeping them. If you are serious about sharing I would seriously consider doing a road trip should the Post Office be unable to manage them.

Wow Red you want bad !! Dont worry

 

[Smart Red]

What's bad? I'm retired. I'm free to travel if I wish. The color should be fantastic in your neck-o-the-woods.

Seriously, I've been thinking about them and their historical value and would probably consider finding a place at the Janesville Rotary Gardens where they/it would be properly displayed in a place of honor.

Fall in NY is why painters came from all over the world to paint the hudson valley.

My husband was one of the many who spent weeks up there helping to clean up the debris. He brought home a couple of tiny pieces of metal and such. I have them and his hardhat (signed by all the celebs who came by) on a special shelf in the living room. There is nothing creepy about treasuring something that is part of world history.
Like Red - if you decide to pass them along, I would LOVE to have one.
