RE: OT - hypertufa containers

Wanda from St. Louis?!?  Where are you located?  I live in Brighton, IL, but
work in St. Louis (Emerson Electric-West Florissant Ave.).  Brighton is
about 15 miles north of Alton, IL.

Interesting to find another list member so close.

I am saving the below e-mail for future reference.  Perhaps this will be a
project for me, soon, as well.

Thanks,
