    Thanks again for another great article!

    Is that a replacement A2 that I see?

    Were the carved in names actually sanded off as the Pennlive commenter suggested?

    Where's "Earl's Pillow"?

    I went back and looked at the hi-res, full size image and don't see any names carved on that from top piece. But you can see some on some of the side pieces.

    I don't know if it was sanded, but it does appear lighter in color than it looked when it was still atop Peters Mountain.



    I did hear a while back that they had misplaced one piece. Wonder if it might have been that front one? (if they indeed lost one and never found it).

    Will tell you it would be better outside. It takes up way too much space in the main exhibit area on the first floor of the mill.
