Description
-
John Rutkowski is the current facilities manager for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held this position for many years while the Hill Cumorah Pageant was being held on these grounds. During our interview, he discussed with us some of the manpower and equipment needed not only to set up and dismantle the Pageant each year, but also to care for the facilities and grounds year-round. We spoke at length about the end of the Pageant, his perspective on why the Church decided to end it, and his part in that process. He also shared with us his current role in the Hill Cumorah Rehabilitation Project and his role in that.
