billinthewildThanks for those. I am always fascinated by these old works; what stories they could tell. Those old stone masons really knew their job, did they not. Truly an art form. Willy looks very much like a priest when he stands in front of the church. Tell him he needs Tito Testone to make him a beautiful and large silver cross to wear around his neck when he goes to vsiit.
