No it is not Jim Rodante who is old, but the brick he is holding. Jim is the JH Batten site superintendent. He discovered a cache of bricks during excavation of the footings for the new building. These bricks are old and of a size that pre-date the current buildings at Shiloh. More of them can be seen at his left. It is believed these bricks are from the original church that was destroyed in the tornado in 1948. Jim placed one of them in the concrete as it was being poured for the Family Life Center foundation - thus ensuring that a bit of the oldest building is part of the newest one.
