Harry Bennett, long time member of the Pittsburgh Corning family, retired this month after 25 years with the firm.

Everyone will miss his genuine interest in promoting the Masonry Industry and the MCAA..."Snow Melting vs. Snow Hauling" was the topic of a program presented by Edward Kohn at the October meeting of the Mason Contractors Association of Milwaukee.
