Hint This flower pot is actually an old school bell turned upside down. In the Great Tri-State tornado of 1925 it killed two school children not its a memorial to them.

Great link!! Thanks! Did you read about the part about the banker in Gorham? It said he grabbed all the silver he could and rushed into the banks vault just before the storm hit. Maybe there silver around there!! Another lost treasure story...:rolleyes:

That guy is a volunteer fireman . He was working on the city's rescue boat. Re-carpeting it i think. I would hate to have to be rescued out in the Mississippi in that. Especially on the stretch of river there near Gorham. We have very little ice here even in the river. It sure is up though.

I would imagine that if I was in water and needing rescue I would accept everything that would float, even ping pong balls would be classified as floatation devices.
