Scout commended for Eagle project in Smithfield
By: Charles Schillinger  09/08/2004
Towanda Daily Review

SMITHFIELD - Township Supervisors commended Brett Teeter following the completion of a year-long Eagle Scout Project which changed the look of Turnpike Cemetery. "It was a fantastic job," said Supervisor Chairman Jon Allford.

Teeter cut down the brush surrounding the cemetery, took out the wire fencing and put in a split-rail fence with corner posts. They started in May 2003 and after 150 man hours went into the project, the project was completed in August. Of the 150 man hours, almost 50 were spent staining and hand chiseling the sign at the now visible entrance to the cemetery.
Brett acknowledged he was quite proud of the effort.  His father, Jesse Teeter, was also quite proud of the project, adding that Brett would be his second son to become an Eagle Scout once the paperwork was finished. He said his other son, Chris Teeter, set headstones up in the cemetery and put a foundation under them. "Let me tell you I am impressed - a very, very good job," Supervisor Zane Chamberlain told Brett during the meeting.
