The memorial site is, has been, and will be, a labor of love.
Currently the site has been cleared, grubbed, leveled, and a retaining wall and bench have been put in. The bench at the site is sitting on loose rock. The top level of rock on the retaining wall has been scrubbed with muriatic acid. There is some spare rock in a pile behind the bench. Next, I’d like to clean up the outside of the wall.
After that, perhaps I’ll build the wall out, doubling it up, bring it one row higher, and flatten the top. We would like to add a plaque at the site and put in a more permanent bench. It’ll be interesting to see how the ground supports vegetation, water runoff, and snow first though. Hopefully, the site will be long-lasting and well enjoyed by all the residents of Juneau.

I’ve sat on your bench,enjoyed the views, swam in the water and thought of your dad and brother’s smiling faces.
Thanks
