Sign Names

[K.J. Boal]

No problem, Bill, input is always welcome! :-)

I generally try to avoid crossing and overlapping lines in writing signs, 
but sometimes it's just unavoidable...  and in my opinion, this is one of 
those times.  I figure, the overlap replaces the need for contact symbols.

Thanks for your comment,
KJ
