Last time we did Carmina, we had to have the whole first movement memorized. O Fortuna, velut Luna statu variabilis.... or words to that effect.Randall Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246581917018679919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810478746663531557.post-52093964761224538452012-01-03T10:09:11.328-06:002012-01-03T10:09:11.328-06:00The original style lettering is a Futura-style let...The original style lettering is a Futura-style lettering. (Think Union Pacific in the streamliner era).<br /><br />Frank's post is here:<br /><br />http://hickscarworks.blogspot.com/2010/02/back-to-futura.html<br /><br />Had the lettering been a sans serif font, I think "I Shot the Serif, but I didn't shoot the Deputy" would have been an appropriate title. <br /><br />Sepaking of Futura, I did see the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra perform Orf's O Futura on New Year's Eve, but that's a different story.....David Wilkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420287033827174299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810478746663531557.post-1912146945754903592012-01-03T10:03:34.997-06:002012-01-03T10:03:34.997-06:00Yes, certainly.

I can only imagine the time it must take, as I try to do similar posts on the IRM BLOG site, and know what that takes for me, a slow, doddering old man. But folks need to see what is happening to appreciate the work of our greatest resource, the VOLUNTEERS. I wish all departments would participate as it also makes a good archival record of plans and progress.<br /><br />Bob KutellaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810478746663531557.post-64902293438073884452012-01-01T16:02:04.055-06:002012-01-01T16:02:04.055-06:00Thanks, Bruce.

I can recall being crestfallen seeing the line ripped up for purely personal reasons, and seeing the roster you folks have repatriated and restored, is something I could have never anticipated then. Kudos to you and all of the folks who make the improbable... possible.Bruce Duensinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06770861553045757360noreply@blogger.com
