Nobody is sure when it disappeared, but one letter on the Gloucester County Historical Society's building has been missing for some time. 

Bryan Bonfiglio, a member of the Historical Society board of trustees, is also a librarian at the Mullica Hill Branch of the Gloucester County Library System, which has two 3-D printers in its MakerStudio.
