Now what in the world is so weird about that? Those are St. Louis bricks, a piece of home - they can't possibly be duplicated in NJ! I love it when people do things like that, sentimental slobs are we all! I fished a brick out of a sidewalk around 7th Street years ago - (it was loose, didn't want anyone tripping on it) which my folks probably walked on many times. I have another large old brick from the tiny "lookout" built on the side of the riverbluff in Oakville, next to my cousin's house topside, which used to have a hunting lodge on it. I don't know what they were on the "lookout" for. This is 2,000' up from the RR tracks and the river. Both are on my mantelpiece, along with a brass plaque which says: ON THIS SITE IN 1897 NOTHING HAPPENED. In California, probably nothing did - except for the rare Indians who were left then, and a few pioneer farmers in this valley. I'm not even counting the onion fields which used to be here. T.
