SB: ideas for the Wolfie's building

[Jo Wilhelm <home_place@juno.com>]

There have been some interesting thoughts put forth on this subject
(though at times it seemed some real tongue in cheek stuff was issuing
forth!) but I posed a question to John about how the native people built.
Here is part of the reply I got--

"Excellent question.  The Aboriginals were river people in the Riverina
and
lived in round buildings made of tree limbs and bark covering.  They were
simple buildings as they moved around according to the seasons.  I do not
know enough about there buildings and I am learning all the time.

Their method of recording history was mainly the spkone word and
sandstone
paintings on stone walls etc."

If the building to be built this fall is a memorial to these folks,
perhaps it could be based on their history-- sandstone for footer, tree
limbs for posts, bark for trim or cosmetic treatments????????
