Happy Halloween!

Our friend, carpenter, 2022 Rosslyn rehab team leader, and creative-but-maudlin jack-o’-lantern designer, Hroth Ottosen, channeled his theatrical genius for the win with this Covid safe “hatchet head”. Pretty spooky, right?

Hope you are having a safe and happy Halloween weekend. Don’t let this spooky jack-o’-lantern spoil your Halloween vibes!
