Pittsburg High School seniors Anthony Morales (right) and Paxton Listwan (center) work at tuck-pointing the memorial to Tommy Atkinson at the Pittsburg airport under the tutelage of Nacoma Oehme (left), a fourth-generation mason whose family built the monument 100 years ago. The decision was made not to tear down and rebuild the monument, but to simply replace the crumbling mortar joints and any stones that need to be. Later, the concrete pad it sits on will be replaced with a new pad three inches thick.
