Conclusion – And Thanks

I really enjoyed working on this lovely clock, and I’m honored to be a part of the history begun by the esteemed Class of 1912. Olathe North truly has one of the great clocks in existence today, and I trust it will be around for another 90 or 100 years. I would like to thank Mrs. Dorland and Mr. Carmody for their support in allowing me to restore the clock, and I’d also like to thank Ms. Reist for being so impressed and interested! The next section talks about the care and maintenance of the clock, as well the procedure taken in setting it up, if ever one should decide to relocate the clock.
