What was the deal with it had to be torn down so quick . I saw them watering down all the debris during the demolition. Was there asbestos scare ? If so how much and is that the reason for so much secrecy and for the Rapid DEMO . Yeah some would've liked to have had the opportunity to have been able to take a few memorable photos . $50 per brick seems a gold bricker working here ha . A Lot of un answered questions . Sad but True . Sara you said it : You hit the nail right on the Head . What was the deal with it had to be torn down so quick . I saw them watering down all the debris during the demolition.

I wonder if a higher price here may simply be because thery are old bricks, pay postage to send them somewhere, then engrave and postage to ship back. Wonder if your local monument maker could be a savings...just butting in but looks like you've got some bargain hunters and smart people around there. I know this must seem trivial to some if you are still waiting for other repairs. I hate to hear people are still suffering there.

Now I can see where that price does make this project upsetting and raise questions instead of offer comfort. Is the $50 set in stone?

When the Milton Veteran's Memorial did their bricks it did not cost that much. I paid $30 with name and date on a new brick.Some people are still suffering after the storm. Most people around here can not afford that! I agree $50 is way too much. When the Milton Veteran’s Memorial did their bricks it did not cost that much.

I think the idea of the flagpole and bricks in a landfill covered in garbage is even sadder. I hope you sell enough to cover the cost to erect something at least as a token of this bitter sweet memory and time in this town. I hope Century heals heart and soul and remembers."If the tea ain't sweet enough, add some more sugar." I imagine they will keep good records, have some left over. Perhaps there is room on the committee if one wants to get involved. If you don't have the $50, thats OK in time perhaps alumni and other folks will contribute. The bricks unwritten and unclaimed in the monument can represent anyone or anything you can imagine. May the tears flow and the anger and frustrations start to be left behind as we fiigure out a way to let go and move forward.

These bricks may have more historical significance than just CHS. There were several brick kilns in and around Barth and Century. Could these bricks have been made and fired at the "coke" furnaces? Buy a piece of history anyway.... Just a thought! These bricks may have more historical significance than just CHS.

Flomaton when they tore down the old high school only charged 5.00 dollars a brick.with the name on it too. I could see 10.00 the max 25 .00 which is high. The thing u r building will not be that.much.much money what.will.happen to the rest @eho will be accountable?!!! Upset.

I'm still angry at the way this historic school building was just demolished, without a care in the world. I would have been more likely to pitch in $50. to help with the repairs to bring Century High School back to it's early grandeur. So many memories gone, with no notice for a last tour or even a photo opportunity.
