Fascinating Capitol Restoration Stories

RECEIVED Sun., Aug. 8, 2010

Dear Editor,
    I wanted to thank you guys for making mention and showing a work-in-progress photo of the restoration job on the state Capitol [“Naked City,” News, Aug. 6]. As a son of the man who restored the exterior of the Capitol twice, it does one good to see that the building we take for granted deserves our nonpolitical attention once again. Don't get me started on "family secrets" regarding past restorations. Most would make you laugh. I hope to hear or read if the current restorers will have their own to tell.
