Arkansas Group Holds Banquet
The MCAA Arkansas State Chapter held its annual banquet at The Mansion in Hot Springs, Ark., August 6. The affair was well attended by both mason contractors and suppliers. Among the guests were MCAA President Allen Young and his wife Louise, and MCAA Regional Vice President G. W. Veazey, Jr. and his wife Peggy. Both Young and Veazey delivered short speeches on industry matters. Young's topic centered on the promotional efforts of the International Masonry Institute, while Veazey covered "what the MCAA can do for you" and "honest competition."
Serving as MC's were Jack McGlothin, president of the Arkansas Chapter, and D. T. Allen, state chairman. Bud Taylor became the newest member of the Arkansas group and received an MCAA certificate from Veazey.
Apparently well satisfied with the way their annual banquet was going were Jack McGlothin, center, MCAA Arkansas State President, and D. T. Allen, State Chairman. With them at the left is chapter member Ted Brewer.
Rebuild Arlington's Famed "Red Wall"
The big "red wall," which for decades has enclosed Arlington Cemetery along the Potomac River side near the Iwo Jima Statue and the Netherlands Carillon, has been taken down and is being rebuilt stone-by-stone by stone mason Julio Dapena.
Ord Whetsel Drive, along which the wall stood, has been abandoned to make way for additional gravesites along the right-of-way and on acreage toward the Potomac. The red stones, many as big as bushel baskets, are believed to be Seneca stone from Maryland. They are a type rarely if ever used today in local construction. Tons of stones from the old wall were moved to rebuild the new 4-ft. high wall bordering Marshall Drive and Jefferson Davis Highway.

Keith Armentrout, supervisor for Roubin & Janeiro, the contractors working with the Corps of Engineers, told the International Masonry Institute that about 18,000 cu. ft. of stone are involved. Julio Dapena, of BM&PIU Stone & Marble Masons Local #2, is recreating the 1,550 ft. wall. He became a stone mason in his native Spain and now has more than 22 years' experience in masonry construction.
