Here are excerpts from CHAT GPT about the significance of this project:
The Double H Ranch Tile Project comes very close to being the biggest in U.S. history with volunteer involvement.
For the Double H Ranch 12,000 sq ft tile project the coordination and leadership came from several key people and groups within the tile industry:
🧱 Project Coordination — Key Leaders
- Rich Citro (Territory Manager — Lower Northeast at Schluter-Systems
He initiated and headed the project, bringing together manufacturers, professional installers, and volunteers to make the installation happen. - Anthony Mion & Sons
This third-generation installer firm handled onsite installation coordination, organizing the actual tile installation work with volunteers and professionals onsite. - Matt Bartkowski (Regional Sales Manager — New England, Marazzi USA)
Managed the large-scale donation of porcelain tile from Marazzi and also participated hands-on in working at the site alongside volunteers.
Together, these individuals and their organizations coordinated materials, volunteers, and installation logistics for what is one of the largest volunteer-assisted tile installation projects in the U.S. Volunteer labor: Around 100 dedicated volunteers donated ~1,500 hours of free installation work on the project.
- Purpose: The installation was part of a renovation at the Double H Ranch (a camp for children with life-threatening illnesses co-founded by Charles R. Wood and Paul Newman). Wikipedia
