e 2877 USA: Monument: My family is
exploring the possibility of having a boulder incised with a quotation as
a memorial to our father and have it placed at in Southern Vermont where he was
educated and graduated in 1940. We hope to place this stone next to a
tree.
We wanted a stone, granite is ok, that would emerge from the
ground rather than lay on it, and which would be large enough to be used as a
bench. The surface would be best if relatively smooth. A boulder from a river
would be ideal.
The letters (probably 75 or so) would be sans-serif,
like Hadrian or something Roman in feeling, and not much larger than 3". We know
this would be possible but the costs are something we have to keep in mind: The
stone itself (what would make sense?), The transportation and rigging, the
carving and finally, how much time is needed to organize this? May 1. Contact
offer 2: My Husband passed away
7-26-200l. We purchased our House 24 years ago and the older couple loved
rocks, so did my Husband. My Son and I are interested in removing some of
the rocks and I have been thinking about using one for a Monument. If you
are interested, I will send you a photo or two of the larger rocks. I
think it is very nice , the idea you have for your Father.
offer 1: We have done boulders for
monuments before. Do you know where you can get a boulder you would
like? We can cut the face, letter it and set. We are located
in VT.
