Ladies and gentlemen of the list, please welcome Susan Maltby, a visitor from ConsDistList, who has expressed interest in charred furniture and gift shops.   Susan, tell us something about yourself, please, we promise not to make fun of you for at least a month or two.   What do you conserve?  Do you think century-old bronze statues should have green patina, or be all spiffed up with brown?   Do you think Eric Gugler's 1948 porch-mezzanine on the south portico of the White House should be taken out?  Is Pierre Trudeau a good dancer? 

 

To get you up and running, Pyrate is a stone mason from the deep south who travels all around the country doing interesting things and saw the first 911 plane fly right by him while he was working on top of the Pan Am Building.    Ralph is divorced, probably for good reasons.  Ken Follett originated the list, and has this sort of literary-fantasy empire which I cannot quite figure out.   Dan Becker is, I believe, against vinyl siding.  Steve Stokowski has this giant encyclopedia of weird masonry stuff in his brain.  And  Cuyler wants a little bit o' dat lollipop conservation act-shun!    Those are a few of the key players. 

 

Christopher
