The Avery Point Memorial
Walkway is Growing
photos by Ron Foster
Monday, July 18th, was the fourth day of actually
setting the bricks in the walkway at Avery Point and the halfway point has
been reached. The day started and ended with a heavy fog cover. The fog was
so thick that we could not even see the water less than fifty feet away and
yet the ships blowing their horns and whistles seemed to be on top of you. At
times we feared a collision was about to take place due to the many horns
blowing at the same time.
The lack of visibility and the almost-rain dampness of the fog did not dampen
the spirits of the Burnett’s Landscaping crew and volunteers who showed up to
continue setting the bricks into the walkway. Ron Drummer from Seymour, CT
was the first to arrive, as he had everyday since the project began, and he
took charge of setting up the work area and planning which pallet of bricks
went where.
