Gift to CRA Board Chair

At the February Board Meeting, CRA Board Chair J Moore was presented with a one of a kind, handmade gift for his term of service as CRA Board Chair – a custom built steam engine, which has a unique significance for J. For the gift idea, CRA Executive Director Andy Bernat drew upon J’s history working with steam engines. In high school, J had a job servicing them in an oil refinery. The engine was custom built for J by Andy Bernat and Philip Wiborg.  Click here to view additional photos.
