Once again Ralph came to the rescue. He negotiated its sale and then managed its dismantling, transport and reconstruction with military precision and a small army of enthusiastic volunteers.

One of the most important jobs done was the installation of security lights which were installed to deter the vandals. And that has worked very well. After all of this, Ralph and Eugenia were very happy and MJM looked really good. Of course, maintaining a place like this is an endless job so volunteers are always welcome.
