After a few weeks of working on it, then going to something else... my Dad and myself finally got the poster I received from Mrs. Jennifer George and the class of Grades 1 and 2 students from the Prince of Wales School in SE Calgary, Alberta, who are known as "The Elevator Kids".
The frame is made out of old barn wood... we we going to make it out of elevator chute wood, but we couldn't find a piece that would work.
BTW.. the picture of me is not that great... that's because I had just came into the house after one major cloudburst. We got at least 10 mm (4/10th of an inch) of rain in less than 10 minutes.
