Family coordinates repairs for Sivright stone; commission shares contractor contacts
Summary
A family member queried the commission about the Sivright stone, which appears weathered and may need a new base and resetting; the family plans to pursue repairs before winter with contractor contacts provided by the commission.
Susan Lyons said a relative of the Sivright family called about a damaged stone that appears to have a weathered seal and may need a new base and resetting. Lyons told the commission she would give the family contact information for JM Granite Works and groundsworker Joe Mangan; the daughter, Sue Moran Guilmette, indicated the family would handle repairs and hoped to have work done before winter.
Lyons summarized site inspections by local groundskeepers and said the seal looked weathered rather than showing evidence the stone had fallen previously. Commission members discussed whether local stone setters could perform the work and noted that Dennis Beaudin has looked at the stone. No commission funds or formal assistance were promised; the family indicated they would pursue repairs.
