Our neighbors are somewhat taken aback by the plywood that has replaced the front doors at St. Anthony's. That's because Worth Gretter and Frank Houde have the doors in Frank's shop on Elm Street. They are scraping and peeling off layers of old gunk, fixing some decay and will then refinish them to an approximation of the most previous former glory. That, according to current plans, would be a natural wood finish with a gold trim. But they're not set on that — if you remember what the doors looked like thirty years ago, let us know, but quickly because they are moving right along. The final step will be to install new hardware with "crash bars" so we meet code.

This is one of many all-volunteer projects that neighborhood residents have taken on to lovingly restore our little gem. Thanks, guys!
