Some of the most valuable education in the monument profession happens when someone simply asks a question. In this episode of Monument Matters, Roger and Debbie Aholt of Washington Monument Company join Brent Dillinger and Eli Karkowski of Loess Hills Memorials to share how a chance conversation at MBUniversity grew into a two-day, hands-on mentoring experience. They discuss shop processes, cemetery installation, craftsmanship, equipment and lessons that cannot always be learned from a manual or video. Just as importantly, they explore why experienced professionals benefit from teaching, why newcomers should keep asking questions and how relationships strengthen the monument profession.
