      I certainly hope not. I cannot understand why people think it is alright to write or worse carve there name, initials or anything else into a historic structure, especially when volunteer groups work hard on restoration and maintenance.

              When you're a young kid without parental guidance otherwise, that's when stuff like that happens. I have taught my children to respect firetowers, lean to's and other public structures.
