The group documented loose boards and rotting, termite-damaged wood in the wooden steps, and recommended that the RCC ask the city for repairs. Old-time residents were joined by seven young people! Bill Lister, a professional gardner, was joined by catwalk neighbor Karen Bartelt-Adams, a landscape architect. Bob Jertberg, an area builder, brought his two sons, Bobby and Braydon, and a friend. Six members of the Dermody family lent their hands.
