Happy to have helped these families finally get their monuments installed after purchasing them from Gast Monument, now closed, years ago. Many thanks to Julio and Jay, our two setters, for making this happen.

There are two ways to attach a bronze plaque to a boulder. You can build up the surface of the boulder with cement to create a smooth surface on which to attach the plaque. This is relatively fast and easy but the finished product looks sloppy. A better way is to recess an area on the boulder to create a smooth surface and then insert the plaque into the opening so it sits flush with the surface. Here is a brief video showing the recessing process.

Our 2025 sales meeting was a huge success. Thank you to Cold Spring, Rock of Ages, Strassacker, Paradise Pictures and Innovative Marketing Group for some great product training. Our team had a blast at Dave and Busters and enjoyed celebrating Jack Hallihan's retirement from the company after 45 years of dedicated service. I'm very grateful to work with such kind and talented people.

This is what starting over looks like! Our shop served us faithfully for decades but the time has come for an upgrade. It's very strange walking through an empty plant but better days are on the horizon!
