The end -- literally -- is in sight now two blocks away from where the
crew started this morning. As you stand on Patterson
Street, you can see where the pipe ends on Adams Street to the
south. While optimistic, the crew is not committing to having
the project completed this week, but they do believe next week will
see the end of the heavy work. When asked what they plan on
doing next, "rest" and "get to my own work"
frequently comes up.
The average age of the crew
this summer was 54 years, the oldest being Howard Field at 80
and the youngest, Steve Spiegel, in his
early-thirties.

today's trenching. Howard Field stands alongside with the
depth measuring rod. In the background, Alsop Sand
Company is delivering a load of sand to resurface the street.

"The Barn", a business operated by James Haskins, is
a popular place in Formoso. As is the case with many small
towns, The Barn is a hangout for young and old alike and is the only
source of food and drink in the community outside the
home.
