As promised, here’s the picture of the finished section of the wall. The picture that shows some of this section knocked out demonstrates that mistakes are possible and that they can be corrected. That is reassuring, as was the taking out of the now missing blocks. This was very difficult labor on the part of two workmen, one with a jack hammer-like tool and the other with a sledge hammer. The latter wore straps around his torso. These were connected to a line so that a mis-blow would not permit him to fall to the ground (the wall is around 40 ft. high). Many other interesting moves have been made on the theater site; one could photograph all day.
Other photos show the other side of the wall and how high the south wall has risen, the site as it appears from the 4th. floor porch, and the path prepared for the new sidewalk along the edge of the field. One wishes for wings to get a bird's eye view.
