Day #80
Wednesday,
July 26, 2000
Work continues amidst heat and drought. Today found the crew at
the south end of Main Street. While James
Haskins, Larry Stafford and Steve Place busied themselves setting a
fire hydrant at the corner of Main and Adams, Vickie Stafford, Carl
Studer and Bob Grimm continued to open a trench for the
pipe.

Grimm operates the trencher while Carl Studer assists by
monitoring the depth of the trench from his wheelchair.
(Carl has a sense of humor,
by-the-way.)

The
work has been likened before to an archaeological dig, only in
Formoso's case, the town is uncovering its own past. At the
corner of Main and Adams the trench revealed a three (3) course layer
brick sidewalk that is now approximately 12-inches beneath the
intersection.

to Jeff Cooper (photographer on crutches) and Tim Unruh
(writer) for The Salina Journal. The paper was in
town today to do a follow-up to the article published earlier on
Sunday, April 2, 2000.
