12/20/20: update. Thanks to Roberts Excavation for donating the cost of $400.00 for the sandstone plaque; and almost $1000 toward the cost of putting in a new asphalt driveway. Much appreciated. The remainder $1,000 is paid for by the 3-way lease holders. The 2013 flood washed away parts of the old driveway put in 15 years ago by Western Mobile, making it dangerous to drive or walk on.
