Mark--

You did get that right, and that memorial is incredibly moving. Two large
walls at either end of a flat reflecting pool, and then the chairs on one
side. As soon as I saw it, the tears started to flow ...

I can only think of the memorial in the Oklahoma devastation in which
they used chairs to represent the dead. I hope I got that right.  And an
interesting choice I'm sure the idea of coffins come up but they passed
it up for chairs. Their reasoning being?.... I guess i can think of a
few.  Mainly I'd think they were just going for a less obvious but
hopefully more effective approach.
