Chapman bench at its home

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Frances and I went to Chapman Elementary today to meet with the young people who painted the tiles, Huntsville Land Trust folks, teachers and others to celebrate the unveiling of the bench before it was taken to its new home on Huntsville Land Trust property. Its home will be on the way to the pavilion and near the junction of several trails. The bench with its beautiful tiles will be the start of many great adventures into the trails.

Thank you to all who made this happen, it touched a lot of lives and over the many years of use it will touch many more.

Here is a map with Chapman School, Land Trust Parking (off Bankhead Parkway) and most importantly the Chapman Bench.

We are delighted with the location for the bench.   Thank you Andy, for suggesting that the Chapman Bench be installed in this clearing.  It is not far from the pavilion where there are several tables lined up; a great spot  for a larger group.   This will be a great spot for a small group or a single person to enjoy.

Thank you A&M students and staff for affixing the tiles to the bench….maybe the last tile was applied at the moment that Andy and Scott shook hands on this site!
