35: Masons of Kingsbridge

Sara Tracks Aaron's Emeriti Roots: The 12th Century Stone Masons of Kingsbridge England

Rock Transformation: From Stone to a Wall for the Ages

"The stonemasons were about to begin their mid-day break, leaving their tools amongst the flat split wall stones.  Aaron had been watching the stonemasons work while waiting for Dr. Webb to arrive for a luncheon meeting in the outdoor restaurant next door.  He remembered that as a child, he would watch intently as stonemasons manipulated rock piles to select the best stones for fitting into a wall they were building and today was no different.  He had been finding excuses to frequently check on the construction progress of a new children’s park along the eastern edge of Lake Zurich.  Sara was completing her review of Emeriti records at the International Headquarters and requested this meeting to discuss additional findings.  Although he served as Chief Archivist at the International Headquarters, he was haunted by his fascination with stone and the work of stone masons.
