Cool, always hear about nurse logs but not nurse buildings! The Italian travertine was a specialty of one of my professors at the University of Texas, Dr. Robert Folk. He could talk about it for hours!
Steve, wow, that would have been fun to have him as a professor. He's in my travertine chapter quite a bit. Were you studying with him when he made the Martian meteor discovery/claim? David
Unfortunately, as an undergraduate I did not appreciate it at the time. It was in the mid to late 70s (yeah, I am old!) and prior to his Mars meteor claim. Even back then, he did not usually teach undergraduate courses so I feel fortunate. He would take his grad students to Italy and it would have been a blast to have been there!
And then there are "nurse cars and trucks." /Users/katherinedarrow/Pictures/Oh Happy Day/Truck garden.jpg /Users/katherinedarrow/Pictures/Jefferson Land Trust/QWC Stewardship/Trucks in QWC/best of/1946 Chevy.JPG
Hi David, As always such a pleasure to read your writing! Keep up the good work. FYI, my mother-in-lay borrowed a little snip of ivy from the coliseum decades ago and it flourished and festooned her kitchen table.

Kathy, thanks for your note and the story about the snipped ivy! David
