<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I want to
compliment more than a dozen who went to BorderKeep site this
past weekend June 3-4, who labored to create the
beginning of the 30-foot wall which will bridge the Rampant Gate with the
“new” cinderblock tall tower yet to be built. I am immensely proud
of all of you for what was accomplished. I was even more astounded
when we did the math. We laid 103 blocks on Saturday (which we estimated
was about 17 blocks per hour for 6 hours), and taking into account getting
things out of the shed, setting up at the work site, getting the water
situation in hand, etc., that production was amazing.

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">What is even “more” amazing is the
second day's work. At the end of the day we did a block count---which
numbered 328. (Our previous “BEST” weekend effort was 245. We
started about 8 A.M. and quit about 3 p.m. so 6and half hours with a
lunch break divided into 225 (Sunday’s production), that’s an astounding
32 blocks per hour! Never have a few done so much with so
little (pay)! Again my compliments and my thanks to the more than a
dozen who came and worked! It was good to work with Sean and his brother
in law; with Adolf & Isobel, Robert & Eric; Aaron &
Kimela; Amy; Phocas, Josh, Zane and Tessa.</P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Please hear my plea….THE
CASLE “NEEDS” WORKERS. Whether you are a Veteran or a First-Timer
on a construction crew, THE CASTLE NEEDS YOU! I realize that
the summer will be hot. That many of us have contrary work
schedules. That we have other things to do as well as projects around
the house. However, this summer “will be” as challenging if not “more
challenging” as the summer (and fall) when we built the original cinder block
and timber gatehouse in 17 weekends. I realize that It requires some
sacrifice from any who come to build. The time and effort anyone can
invest is rewarded by a "job well done" feeling and the knowledge
that hundreds will be able to come play at the
castle. </SPAN></FONT></P>
