Kent Weathersby updates:

Last fall, I solicited ideas from Groop regarding
repairs to several broken and damaged tombstones
we discovered in a neighborhood in which we were
conducting a service call. Soon thereafter, we put
these ideas to the test by making initial efforts to
mend the headstones. The pictures are a progress
report; we hope to finish the project soon but spare
time is a premium these days.
