cement finishers they were!

I found these pictures from 2000 when Cindy's dad was able to visit Mile High Stadium after his stroke. Her dad and brother John both worked in the concrete industry as "cement finishers"  and helped build this stadium in Denver.  Cindy always says "John was smart and could do just about anything".  We miss you both!

Buried at the Rutherford County Cemetery near Forest City, NC - my great-grandparents on my mother's side of the family. This is the same cemetery where my grandparents are buried.
