Laura Jones Memorial

Laura Jones was asked to be part of an exhibit that was in the Rockwell Museum until December 31, 2021. Laura was very proud of this honor and to be photographed and featured by Christopher Walters, a local photographer. We reached out to Christopher who with Laura's husband Greg's permission agreed to donate Laura's framed photo from the Rockwell to the USW Local 1000 Union Hall to be on display in her memory. On Friday Christopher Walters brought Laura's photo to our local, where her husband Greg joined us as we hung it to be displayed where it was photographed.
