I was contacted by the Exec VP of the Panama Canal Museum to ask if I would do a rubbing of the Plaque that was imbedded in the floor of Balboa Highschool in the entry all of the years it existed to be sold at the 2013 Panama Canal Reunion in Orlando to benefit the PC Museum. So I met her at the Panama Canal Society Office in Seminole, Florida this afternoon, and this is the result. I used graphite to rub in imprint. I hope you enjoy!
