Arne visits the Chrinitoid

Hi Tom,
I read your 2004 article in the Rensselaer Alumni magazine and have perused your website on the subject. You said to snap a picture and send it your way if anyone was in the neighborhood.  Consider it done!

My observations:

1. It seemed to me that the welded seams across the face of the rectangles were much more noticeable than I recall when it was on campus. 
2. In the ~20 minutes or so while I was there, neither of the planes ever rotated more than about 30 degrees from vertical (with the longer ‘half’ pointing down).  That suggested to me that the planes were a little out of balance.  It wasn’t terribly windy when I was there, and it was raining off and on.  I guess it’s possible that enough rain sticks onto the surfaces to cause the longer halves to be heavier enough that they would dangle down like that. 

It was good to see it again though!   Also, I was able to see a couple of pictures of it using Google street view.

Regards,
Arne Johnson, class of ‘83
