However, I did purchase some other nice pieces from Noe, including the 178g end piece which broke off the mass when it hit the wooden joist in the attic, and made the second hole in the ceiling plaster. Oddly, this 178g piece bounced around inside the bedroom and then flew right out of the window before being picked up on the patio. Other souvenirs that came home with me were the wooden joist - smashed into 4 or 5 pieces but which still assembles beautifully - and the punched-out ceiling plaster discs from the holes. One of the coolest fragments from the Garza Stone is a small end piece with ceiling plaster and window sill paint over the fusion crust. Gregory Wilson is now the proud owner of this piece, and I'm sure he'll post some pictures of it later. My Park Forest pics are still online at http://fernlea.tripod.com/park.html Fun times, fondly remembered!
