Hi Friends, <BR>
Since we're on the Penn Station topic, I wanted to add a little known fact fo local interest. One of the 16 eagles from the main Penn Station entrance pediments is located near the end zone at the football field of Hampden-Sydney College near Farmville, Va. Log on to <A href="http://www.shorpy.com/node/299">www.shorpy.com/node/299</A> for more info. <BR>
Take care, <BR>
