[Correction to the July-August Issue of The PLS Gazette: Due to a communication error, member Rich Falzone was, on Page 3, inadvertently credited with providing a machine and a mechanic to set the trusses for the steaming bay roof construction. Although Rich had offered to provide a lift that would aid with this work, a better solution was found in a hydraulic crane with a long reach. Member Lee Hart made the arrangements for the crane that was provided by the Dickinson Crane Company of Reading, along with an operator, as a donation to PLS. Our thanks go to Lee and Dickinson Crane for providing us with this valuable service.

Also, omitted from the list of steaming bay roof workers were Bruce Barrett; and particularly, lead carpenter Paul Quirk, whose experience has guided this construction.]
