Raising Ragnar's Stone

In March, some of the members of the Sons of the North and Sons of Norway got together to raise a memorial stone for our fallen friend who went by the norse name of Ragnar Eriksen. He died recently and we thought this would be a fitting memorial. Also, as it is on Sons of Norway (SON) property, we thought that those in SON could think of this stone as a memorial to a lost friend or relative. So, dual purpose.

The next steps would be to paint the design, hold a dedication ceremony and possibly, carve the design in the stone. I'm looking after creating the design and enscribing it with paint at a later date. Then, the dedication ceremony after that. I have no skill in carving granite so I may see if someone else wants to take on that task, or we leave it painted and just do touch ups if needed.
