That is too cool!

School Reno..... back in 1976, a lady friend and I were the Tolkien geeks who were teaching ourselves Tengwar from the Appendices. We would sit by the flag pole and write notes in Sindarin and see if the other could read it. One day they renovated the bus loading area and there were fresh poured concrete curbing. We decided to cut a class to imprint 'friends' in tengwar in the side of the curb. It was there until 2005 when they totally renovated the school... they dug up the curbing and flag pole and the parking lot. Had I known they were going to destroy it, I'd gone down and busted that section of curbing up for a keepsake.
