GOODBYE, OLD MAN

  America has lost an old, old friend.   New Hampshire's
  "Old Man of the Mountain" went to meet his maker this
  week.  The natural rock formation, long a symbol of the
  state, was featured on the New Hampshire state quarter
  in 2000.   From today's Portsmouth Herald:

  "The venerable granite symbol of New Hampshire slid
  unseen down a mountain and into the past sometime
  Friday or early Saturday morning.

  A state park trails crew reported around 7:30 Saturday
  morning the 40-foot tall stony face was gone from the
  side of Profile Mountain in Franconia Notch.  The Old Man
  was covered by clouds Thursday and Friday, so no one
  knows when it actually fell."
