The Saturday before Easter, a bright blue afternoon for taking down the dangling cross.
Roy Riley and Mark Clements arrived with Mark’s truck.
Roy starts the ride up.
Slowly, adjusting so he won’t knock the steeple….
He reaches the top.. The cross is loose enough to pull off.
The ride down begins. He can see water in every direction. Can he remember which knob controls which part of the boom?
With Roy down safely, Mark puts the truck to bed.
Look for the next installment: Repairing the Old Copper Cross.
