Took a better picture of the stone this morning!!
 
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH MANAGER'S RETIREMENT STEPPING STONE
Picture
Picture here is a bit shiny due to it being dark when I get home and having to use a flash...The stone has also been slow cured and sealed with three layers of concrete sealant so it will last a very, very long time!   This is a very large stepping stone I created to give to my boss, Charles Shepherd for his retirement from the Virginia Department of Health, after 42+ years of service as an Environmental Health Manager. He has definitely had a lot of experiences with having animals tested for rabies (hence the bat).  I am giving it to him tomorrow, since his retirement begins after December 31, 2011...He has been the best boss ever and we are all sorry to see him go...(Hopefully I can get a better picture tomorrow morning before I leave for work!!)  If I don't get back here again before 2012 begins,I wish everyone a
Happy and safe New Year!
DIMENSIONS:  30 pounds, 15.5" X15.5", and a solid 2" thick
