Ming Columns - a truly a1mcino .{ent of complex carving in stone. The work was completed over the pa t fi\'e year lead by Mike and Rob Pelkey at Memorial Sandblast Co. in association with their brother Jolm. The nearly ten foot high pair of columns featured a "suitable for framing" on the inside back cover, match a Ming Dynasty pair donated to a Dallas art museum.

The Barre Granite was quarried by the Rock of Ages, then cut and shaped to the rough form by Peerless Granite Co. and Consolidated Memorials, Inc. Bulldog heads were carved by Dante Ros i at Peerless. Additional drafting was done by Andy LaPerle and Ron Bergeron. The three Pelkey brothers at Memorial Sandblast Co. did the drawing and detailed andblasting work, depicting scenes from an emperor's life, as well as intrica te floral designs on each of the 4,300 pound columns.

CV-3 anjo, fiddle, mandolin and bluegras guitar mu ic filled the air. Demonstrations of all aspects of working with granite allow personal discussions with the artisans. The Vermont Granite u eum of Barre site at the former Jones Brothers' Plant bustled with demonstrations of activity -

• Clay Model Making • Etching • Hand Drafting • Stone Carving • Letter Carving • Rock Splitting

The Barre Rotary served a delicious chicken barbeque meal. Admission was free and so was the Vermont made ice cream! Children tried their hand at bocce. Scenic train rides and guided tours of Hope Cemetery were fun and educational.

The festival that is planned for next year will be on the first

~he story of Fernand "Red" Lajeunesse began in 1928. He was one of eight children born to Armand and Marie Lajeunesse. Red worked on the family farm before enlisting in the Air Force at the age of seventeen. He served his country during the war performing the important role of packing parachutes. When he returned to the United States he began his life work in the granite industry as a stone cutter at Colombo Granite in Barre. After ten years of experience cutting stone, Red realized that there was a need for an efficient monumental manufacturing operation, one that could offer the retail trade a complete and dependable service with truly realistic prices. The year 1955 was a memorable one, the year he founded Brookside Memorial Company in East Barre, Vermont.

This new venture took off from its meager beginnings in a sixty foot former cow barn to what expanded into one of the most modern and aggressive manufacturing firms of the day in the Barre region. The plant grew to over six hundred feet in length, employing 22 workers fifty two weeks a year. Brookside Memorial Company was always on the cutting edge of production with the most modern equipment available and offered complete manufacturing services. From sawing and polishing to hand carved lettering, Brookside provided top of the line services to many loyal customers throughout the northeast. In 1964, Red purchased the Ciampi Saw Plant in Barre to further provide better service by controlling the sawing and polishing of his block stock.

In 1967 Brookside Memorial Company began to quar­ry Canadian Pink Granite from a quarry Red purchased north of the border.

In addition to the granite industry, Red had a love of flying. After studying long and hard he earned his pilot license. He felt that with his newly acquired airplane he could provide better service to his many retail memorial dealers. Over the course of his flying career, he bought and traded twenty five planes. His other interests include motorcycles, snow machines, hunting, and playing music on his fiddle and guitar. Ouring this time Red married Lisette Scalabrini; they had ix children and led a very full and exciting life. In 1976 Red retired from the granite industry and sold Brookside Memorial Co.

Missing the industry he came out of retirement in 1982. With youngest son Bernie and wife Bonnie by his side, he started manufacturing once more, on Sec::on(f Street in Barre. Brookside Memorial Co. was back. second venture started out much like the first. was one hundred feet long and soon grew ro:iDVlU-.l11
