I've got a three + hour layover today and will add DL PLATINUM to the "rock" collection!

oh no -- can't believe the stones are gone
According to this thread:

the DTW stones are gone.
I wonder if the person who made that decision had any idea that a great tradition has been needlessly ended. Thoughtless.

When they did it before, SC agents there gave me the impression that it was a conscious decision because some of the stones expressed affection for NW and/or annoyance at the merger.

Makes me ill to think where those stones are. I always wished I'd shellacked my stones so the ink wouldn't fade, but it would have been pointless anyway.

We could have organized a stone rescue DO.

I know it's disappointing for those of us who were into signing the stone... but, we were few. Time to move on.
