The "Becker Brick" at Concordia Portland



At Concordia University, Portland, between Luther Hall and the Hagen Center, is a small circle of bricks that memorializes alumni and faculty. Here is a photo of the "Becker Brick" in that memorial courtyard:




One night last week I was tempted to sneak onto campus with a chisel.... But that wouldn’t have been right— and the Portland PD would have easily found their prime suspect.

Still, I told some of my local friends, "Can you keep an eye on those bricks? My family and I would like to get ours back...."
