... I've been tasked with turning this chunk of I-Beam pulled from burnt-out Mason County Courthouse into a museum piece to be auctioned off to help pay for the courthouse restoration under way. Having recently watched "The Men That Built America", I am thrilled to see Andrew Carnegie's name on it. Do a Google search for Scottish pronunciation of "Carnegie" ... ML

timmymctimface Did a little fundraising fabrication for that courthouse myself.... I'm certain you will come up with something cooler. Mason is a cool little town
- laruetactical @timmymctimface ... Nothing I can do to that will improve upon it 😎
