I sign and date the top of the belly rail with each soundboard 
replacement. I doubt that the discovery of one of these some 
day will thrill anyone, but they'll at least know who to blame. 
 

In a more extravagant and immediate bid for immortality, I 
offer my own unique and monolithic Google Earth find right 
here in Wichita Kansas. Copy and past 37° 44' 36.43"N, 97° 17' 
20.55"W into the "Fly to" box, hit return, and zoom to about 
1900 feet altitude. You may be impressed, if you like.
