DescriptionLate in 1995, technical manager Pierre Daigneault broke his back in a hang-glider accident, and was confined to a wheelchair.

The ramps at right lead to the cafeteria; the building between the cafeteria and the Lockwood office was a dining room for management, built in 1977.Date TakenAugust 2007
