Nathan,
There were a couple of tourists sitting on the bench and I asked if they 
could let me take a picture of the inscription - explaining that Doug 
had been my friend to ensure that they didn't think I wasn't just some 
camera toting oddity that gets his jollies by hassling people off 
benches. The daughter then sat on her father's knee to give that odd 
juxtaposition. I could have cropped it, but the momentary disconnect 
when one looks at it first, appealed to me.
