Reported by The Litchfield Enquirer, "Workers saved Goshen home," July 29, 2005:
Bryan Beausoleil owes a lot to JDC Masonry of Torrington. The company's owner Jason Cardillo and his crew of men saved Beausoleil's home on Route 63 in Goshen from a small fire that started in the garage and quickly grew to engulf the front of the garage with five-foot high flames.
"He and his crew were able to keep the fire under control until the fire department got there, using whatever means they had handy. They literally saved the house from burning down," Beausoleil said.

Cesar Pelli, FAIA, of Cesar Pelli & Associates, will receive the 2005 Louis Sullivan Award from the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC). The presentation will be made at the union's convention in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Oct. 4.
The Louis Sullivan Award is made to the practicing U.S. or Canadian architect whose work over a span of time best exemplifies the ideals of the late Louis Sullivan, who is widely considered the father of modern architecture.
Recent Pelli projects include Yale University's Engineering Research Building, The Overture Center for the Arts in Madison, Wis.; Grinnell College's Bucksbaum Center, and the University of Chicago's Ratner Athletic Center.
Born in Argentina, Pelli earned a diploma in architecture from the University of Tucumán. He served his apprenticeship in the offices of Eero Saarinen. In 1977, Pelli became dean of the Yale University School of Architecture and also founded Cesar Pelli & Associates. He resigned his post as dean in 1984, but continues to lecture on architecture.
In 1995, Pelli was awarded the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Gold Medal. In 2004, he was awarded the Aga Khan Award for Architecture for the Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
