Quote:And, Galen, the quarter was placed there in honor of George Manos, AIA, a favorite instructor of mine at Philadelphia College of Art, whose parting words as we left the classroom after being assigned a new design project in Environmental Design were always, "Don't forget to give it an SOS!" (a "Sense of Scale")
That's what I figured. However, I just spent a few hours the other night looking through our change jar for 'junk silver', i.e., coins prior to 1965 with 90% silver content...there's a bit of a survivalist in me that figures, hey, even if it's never worth much from a metal standpoint, at least it'll be worth the face value if the dadgum economy ever recovers!
But please don't let my rantings take us off task here. Glad to see you're moving ahead with the stripping. And yes, you should win some sort of prize for the most-procrastinated project unless, of course, other contenders arise.
You could say your EOY challenge project is now 'under weigh'...
