35.  We got finished with all the major repairs on Saturday, October 11. There are still some stones that need to be toouched up and Ken Murtiff and others will finish those up as time permits. I would like to thank all those who contributed to getting the repairs done. A special thanks to the kind hearted people who sent monetary contributions to the borough of Huntingdon to help defray costs that Ken incurred. Also a big thank you to Buck Rupert for everything he did to help. He sure displayed the spirit of Huntingdon in helping us. Thanks to Mayor Foster Ulrich, borough manager Dan Varner, borough council for their support of the project and especially Ken Murtiff who sacrificed countless hours making the repairs. Local establishments that donated lunches were McDonalds, Domino's Pizza and Sheetz. You are all wonderful.
This was a challenge. Without the help of Buck and his backhoe, we would not have been able to repair this one.

 

 

36.  John and Rebecca Green may now rest in peace.

 

 

37.  In case you're wondering who the guy is in the backhoe, it's Buck Rupert.  He didn't want to have his picture taken but I snuck a couple in.

 

 

38. Ken Murtiff is applying finishing touches to a stone below.

 

 

39.  Another challenging one.

 

 

40. Here's Buck's backhoe doing the heavy work.

 

 

41.  This one took a while to repair.
