Cannon Restorer Brings Out The Big Guns
A 19th-century US military cannon is getting a real makeover, thanks to a Rolls-Royce mechanic who is also a local historian. The 130-year-old cannon has been a long-time fixture in downtown Berea, near Cleveland. The Cincinatti Enquirer reports that the cannon is sitting dismantled in Jim Jaworski's shop, along with two Bentleys, three Rolls-Royces and a 1953 Ford pickup (ute, if you're an Aussie). The American Legion has launched a fund-raiser to pay for its restoration. The plan is to put the cannon in Berea's Memorial Day parade next May.
