    Ok, here's the reply I got when I asked about a group adopting one stone on the aqueduct:

    George Lewis here, I am the president of the Catoctin Aqueduct Restoration Fund, Inc. – many thanks for your interest in the Catoctin Aqueduct.

    The norm is one adoption certificate per adoption; however, we could stretch this a bit.

    Suggest you get back to me with the number of certificates you have in mind and the type (and adoption fee donation) of stone you have in mind; keeping in mind that the objective of the Adopt a Stone project is to raise funds to restore the Most Beautiful Aqueduct on the Line, and that each certificate costs $4 to print and $1 to mail.
    So, any thoughts? Janice and I don't care about getting a certificate, so who would like to have one? Do we want to go for a $200 stone or stick with $125? At this point, we've got six of us (plus dingster as a maybe), which would make for approx. $33 per person for a $200 stone, or $21 per person for a $125 stone. If anyone else wants to join in, that'd reduce it even more.

    And thank you, ladies. It'll be very cool to know that we contributed to restoring history on the C&O

    "How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

    Random babblings and some stuff to look at.
