In the summer of 2006 we lost a dear friend. His parents, Vern and Gina, have been close friends for decades. Vern has been a brick mason forever and both his sons followed in his footsteps.After the funeral Gina handed me the trowel that her son used for work and asked me to build something so that she could display it. I have been a woodworker since I was a child, but this was a request that would result in my most rewarding work to date.
