My stepbrother Hal Newell recently
showed me his progress on the massive memorial he's building to his father.

| Hal looks up at the 6'' steel
pipes of the memorial's roof structure.
The heavy pipes will eventually be bolted to the standing stones. |

Each roof-rafter pipe will be
connected to its stone by a vertical pipe section like the one Hal Newell
is showing me here.
Each vertical section is custom-made for height to compensate for the varying heights of the stones. |

majestic Darwin, California setting. Hal's ultra-energy efficient
underground house is beneath the windmill.
The Coso mountains are in the background. |
