...at the 'Japanese Garden' place in Portland,
along some particular part of the walkway leading
to the small Pavillian building which held the
Ceramic exhibits...

...were a sucession of vertical low stone wall
elements
forming the side along the winding path, and these
had names of people and their titles or roles
carved into them, names of
people past who were contributors or who were on
previous boards.


The initial carved stone read ...something
something " Board of Directers..."

Gail Phillip spotted this instantly, and later I
was talking to the gal in the gift shop about
this, and she mentioned that the stones and so on
were all under the 'Division of Parks and
Recreation'...


Anyway..."Carved in Stone" ...

I wondered how it got so far as to be inspected
however many times, approved, checked off, and
finished, laid up in cement and grouted, with no
one spotting it?


...kind of a chuckle...
