A chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation

This day started early for me when I received a call from John, truck driver for First Americus Enterprises, Inc. of Luthersburg, PA, at 3:50 AM.  He told me that the two trucks were at Avery Point  waiting for me to show them where to unload the 35 pallets of Whitacre-Greer Brick for the memorial walkway.  Needless to say, I was there in a flash.
