interesting photo subject. there was a joke that the electric chair had a
sign next to it that said " You can be sure if it is Westinghouse ". I
wonder if it was just an urban legend ? I know some of that goes all the
way back to the rivalry between Edison and Westinghouse about commercial
power becoming DC or AC.
If you have never been down to the old Fort or the Pierre Menard Home I
will recommend a visit. The home dates back to 1800 or so and was still in
the family until 1947 or 49. All of the funishings are original ! It is a
beautiful place with spring flowers.

I think Menard has a rather negative connotation. :-)
