About Me
My interest in the preservation and conservation of old and ancient cemeteries came about as a result of my interest in genealogy. I have attended and helped to lead MOCA Beginners Workshops. I have been a member of MOCA Workshop Committee for about 5 years. I have volunteered extensively with a professional cemetery conservator for a number of years. Through my MOCA training and volunteer work, I have gained a good deal of knowledge and skills in the proper techniques, with a conservator's approach, to monument cleaning and repairs. I am happy to share my expertise and knowledge with others as time allows. Remember to always get permission, work within your level of training, and do no harm! Attempting conservation and preservation work with "good intentions" is not enough. Training is critical!
“Hell isn’t merely paved with good intentions; it’s walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too.” Aldous Huxley
