Chris Neiters, Michael Zerjaz and Robert Loeffler, students enrolled in the St. Louis Bricklayer's Apprentice Training School, under the direction of Carl Martini, repair the stone wall at the Bellefontaine Habilitation Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The 41½ foot high wall is a local landmark which was built in 1932 utillizing WPA labor for its construction. According to Martini, the restoration of the wall will take several years. The Bricklayer's Apprenticeship Training Program is sponsored by a trust agreement between the Mason Contractors Association of St. Louis and Bricklayer's Local #1 of Missouri. It's a three year program beginning each year in September and ending in June. "Masonry Message," Winter 1991-92 issue, published by the Masonry Institute of St. Louis.
