MORE BORING POSTCARDS FROM SARAH ROE -- THANKS AGAIN SARAH

1. National Stadium, Lisbon, Portugal

2. Olympic Stadium, National University of Mexico

3. Washington Monument, Washington DC, USA

"The Washington Monument is a stupendous shaft of granite, 655 feet 51/8 inchs in height. It is 65 squarefeet at the base, and terminates in a pyramid of pure aluminum. The foundatiobs of rock and cement is 35ft deep, 126ft square. The cornerstone was laid in 1843, the Monument was finished in 1885. It is the highest work of masonry in the world."

(This is an old postcard, and I suspect the last sentence is no longer true. Can someone please tell e what exactly is this a Monument to?)

4. General Motors Building, Detroit Michigan, USA

General Motors was a 4-Star General. Every time he got another Star, he got another building to go with it.
