Once the material reached the

airport it was placed and leveled with a front end loader and was later rolled for compaction. One dumptruck and the front end loader was donated and driven by Norm Wortman, who also lined up the roller and donated a great deal of time and his engineering skills to this project. The other dumptruck was donated by the Lin- coln area DOT. Many thanks to Norm Wortman, without whom this project could not have taken place.
