Texas Masonry Council Hall Of Fame Award Ceremony

Words: Jeff Buczkiewicz



On March 20th, the Texas Masonry Council celebrated its Hall of Fame Installation at the historic Alamo in San Antonio. This prestigious event brought together industry leaders and supporters to honor the achievements of individuals who have made significant contributions to the masonry industry throughout their career. The event occurs annually and recognizes the industry Giants in Texas. This year, Congressman Pete Sessions was in attendance and assisted in the presentation of awards to the recipients.

The Hall of Fame inductees included Mackie Bounds of Brazos Masonry, Mel Oller of Hoggatt L.P., Dennis Knautz of Acme Brick Co., and Kevin Camarata of Camarata Masonry Systems, Ltd.. Each of these individuals have left a mark on the industry through their innovation, leadership, and commitment to excellence.

The event was generously sponsored by Shadrock & Williams Masonry, who is currently working on restoration at the Alamo. Their commitment to the masonry industry is evident by their support of this event. “It was such as honor to see these industry Titans receive recognition and the honor to be enshrined into the TMC Hall of Fame” said Jeff Buczkiewicz, President of the MCAA, “Each individual played such a huge role in the evolution of the Masonry Industry in Texas, the honors were very well deserved.”
