I guess dapperness is yet another economic casualty of our era.
🙂 Hey Pete! Hope to see you this summer on our trek crosscountry.

Thanks Ryan. Can I include this on this posting? Jump
Yes, def.
FYI, I just looked at the sign [it’s out back now]. They removed the front paneling from the shell because the owner of the building has a buyer lined up who will check it out tom. morn. He may not want it anymore though because one of the workers misunderstood the directions and cut the last 1/5th of the sign directly off.
It kind of makes you hope people save signs like this,when they come down.
RK- The American Sign Museum in Cincinnati does that very thing.
