Bob Bruneau sitting in his office, evidently working on a window shade part.  Mr. Socks watches with rapt attention. 

George Clark working on part of the 810.  

Ed Oslowski hard at work on the floor of the 749.

Andy Chmura, Joe and Gwen Stupar, and Frank

The 1630 needed maintenance work, as always.

Work on the new drainage system had started.  This is in front of Barn 4.

Buzz Morisette had just started a long, long project!
