Hal Myers provided an update on the continued deterioration of the cannon pedestal at Cathedral Cemetery. He informed everyone that upon completing research he found that the GAR placed the cannon at the cemetery. Hal Myers had a conversation with the Director of the cemetery and found that the city has only painted the base but never performed maintenance. Bill Dixon has a friend who owns a masonry company.
