ceremony.

Virginia Beach Vo-Tech construction students just finished building

a park ranger's house at First Landing/Seashore State Park. While

getting hands-on experience, about 75 students also saved the state

thousands of dollars in labor costs. The students went to work last

fall to build the two-bedroom, two-bath house. The project involved

students in masonry, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, heating and

air conditioning and landscape design classes.
