Bob Hunter Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 It definitely has to go over the fireplace. Can't hang it over the garage door since the neighbors might not understand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBeltram Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hello,Great eagle and I would also love to hang it over my fire place. I wonder what type of wall stud you would need for that thing? Seriously, I am also amazed that it hasn't been salvaged until now. When I was in high school I had a Latin teacher named Geneva Hahn and in 1939 she lived with her parents in Montevideo(they taught at a university there). Well she was an eyewitness to the big event and even took some pictures of the Graf Spee. Ms. Hahn used to have the photographs in her classroom and I always wanted a copy of them. She has since passed away and I bet the photographs were pitched. Regards, Jody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
