Shout-out to the Welding Program
R
yan Eubank’s Welding Program at Tech hosted Fox 8
News at the end of September to showcase the WWI cannon
that the students are refurbishing.
The cannon was originally built in
1897. It was stored away and later
used in WWI from 1914 to 1918.
David Anderson, the Mayor of
Willoughby, brought the cannon to
the attention of Mr. Eubank who
jumped on the opportunity to allow
his students to restore it to its original glory.
Senior student & Project Manager,
Nick Carmigiano, said “We don't
expect the refurbishment to take
long, surprisingly. From what we
see, it shouldn't go past Christmas.
The cannon is in terrible shape:
rusty, broken, chipped, and scraped.
However, we are a proud and efficient organization. Once finished,
the cannon will be most likely stored
in our shop until spring. We need to
keep it out of the
snow and cold
for now because
it needs to look
110% for the
2014 Downtown
Willoughby Memorial Day parade. There, it
will be used for
show, complete
with horses and
passengers. After
the parade, it
will be permanently rested in
Downtown
