INDEX: July 2013
Welcome to the July 2013 Slippery Rock. This month we feature B.C. Stone, a company that has gained some national recognition from ION Network’s “World’s Greatest” program. We also spotlight the America College of Building Arts (ACBA), a very unique institution that offers a higher level of craftsmanship training in stonework, restoration, masonry, and even forged iron work. We wrap up our coverage of 2012 industry recognition with the Coverings CID Awards. I hope our readers enjoy the expanded edition this month and the state-oriented stories, and don’t miss the Tips ‘n’ Techniques offered by folks who are expert in their craft. Send your letters and comments to publisher@slipperyrockgazette.net. We especially want your nominations for our Rock Stars Among Us column. – L.H.
