In a recent letter to MCAA, an old and dear friend of the Association, Honorary Member Peter Baier, brought us up to date on his retirement activities. He and his beloved wife, Helen, reached another important milestone on October 6 when they celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary! Our sincerest congratulations to the happy couple. They still maintain their permanent home in Hobart, Indiana, and were expecting to take up residence in their winter home in Florida in mid-November.

Pete was looking forward to yet another milestone on December 18. He'll be a spry 75 on that date. He says that keeping up two homes occupies most of his time, but he's delighted with the maintenance chores. Spoken like a true Mason Contractor!

Put your masons on a RYD-UP scaffold and watch savings, production and efficiency get off the ground. Ten-foot sections provide 30% less scaffold to move, handle or erect over seven-foot platforms. Cross-planked platform provides extra strength and space for brick, block and mortar boards. No lengthwise slots to catch wheels.

Studies show production can rise 20%. Easy-to-pump double-action hoist maintains fully loaded scaffold at efficient wall height.
