The item was sold to the highest bidder. <BR/><BR/>They discontinued the offer a year ago after they determined the platform had deteriorated due to exposure to the elements and so it was no longer safe.<BR/><BR/>My friend and I both agreed that being able to visit the tower as a fundraiser would be a cool experience. <BR/><BR/>Maybe it would make sense to repair the platform/access to allow such vists? Donated labor and materials are usually a staple for parish repair projects. <BR/><BR/>STL Rising will do some more follow up and report on the results.<BR/><BR/>And we'll check with another church or two regarding their tower tour policies.Rick Bonaschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825477678253483191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14698828.post-28318700343662140602008-09-15T13:51:00.000-07:002008-09-15T13:51:00.000-07:00Just spoke with a person at OLS.
