FAMILY

A very SPECIAL thank you to my parents, Phil and Pat Fontana. They're always there no matter what the
work is.
From sanding trim to painting walls, removing wallpaper and trimming bushes, they have done almost as much work
as we have.
We wouldn't be where we are today without them.
Thank you both!

Long ago, before the barn was torn down, Parker A, Williamson, a furniture maker from Halifax, requested a beam from the barn. He was going to make "something" out of it for us.

We had long since forgotten about it but at the 2010 Harlow Fling we were presented with a BEAUTIFUL bank! The craftsmanship is AMAZING!! The door on the front is an old safe deposit box from the Monponsett post office. You can still smell the cedar when you open the door.

THANK YOU Mr. Williamson, you do AMAZING work!!
