friend who owns a foundry business and I had planned to ask him to make a 
pattern and cast the lettering into aluminum. Something finally lucky about 
being from the rainy BC coast! as the letters haven't cracked and 
disintegrated like they would've in some nice warm sunny climate!

If you're interested I can find out how much it would be to get a couple 
more cast -- as the more that he can cast, the cheaper it'll be for all.
