One of the very special things about the St. Bart's chairs are the
beautiful inscriptions engraved in the brass plates on the back:

Charles & Marie Bender

In celebration of William K. Trafka & great music at St. Bartholomew's
By Mary-Hart Bartley

Life is short, so be swift to Love and make haste to be kind
Scott and Allison Jenkins

and many more . . .
