Stone NW 9

 

To all friends of the Boundary Stones: October 22, 2011

 

THANK YOU TO ALL THE 47 VOLUNTEERS!!  Tremendous Job by everyone, especially the group leaders, Scott Wolf & Lonnie Murray, and all the return volunteers who have done this more than once and are a big reason why this weekend's effort was such a HUGE SUCCESS!!!  My thanks also to Scott, Bill Nell, and Marian Kopecky for helping to spread mulch at the sites on Sunday.

Thanks to everyone for all the help, no way this happens without each and everyone of you!!!  It was great to meet you all and work together as a team.  We had volunteers from ASCE, DCALS, DAR, AECOM, Metro, Howard University, and many local citizens come out to participate for this most worthy preservation effort.

 

Hope you all will consider helping out with future projects (next one will be in May 2012).  We now have 13 fences restored and 21 to go! We will also be working with the necessary parties on installing new fences at the stones where there are damaged fences or no fences at all.  And don't forget the work that needs to be done at SE#4 getting that stone back in the ground or the work at the SE #8 site getting another replica stone installed.

Thanks,
Stephen

 

Enjoy these "Before & After" Photos of the work done by Team #1 at NW #9.  This team installed new bolts as well as painting the fence.  Thanks to Allen for supplying the bolts and to Bill Nell for helping to get the work started!

 

This fence was originally installed and dedicated by the 'Margaret Whetten' D.C. Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, date unknown (c.1916).
