A dream come true!
I'm attaching pictures of the first monument for Pioneer Cemeteries in Mitchell. This monument was designed by Dale Hemingson and constructed by Steve Ham and Jody Staff. The Osage FFA with the guidance of Frank Kisley erected it this past week. Thanks to each and every person who participated in making this happen.

"We used four bags of cement and used rock and sand mix at my parents home. I also had to buy some rerod, two bricks, and one 2x6x12. The monument was built by Dale Hemingson, Jodi Staff and Steve Ham I believe???"
Thanks, it was a good educational project to help with. Frank Kisley
