I agree totally Scott, I was at the garden the other morning pondering whether I really had another couple of years in me to be this self-inflicted conduit between the military and the community when a gentleman dropped by. Of course we were closed and I was completing one of the never-ending task but he came up and said "Hey I am a Navy Vet, what is this place?". So of course I had to give him my speech loaded down with all of my hopes and dreams and an hour later I had a new friend and a new lease on life. I have to admit he had me at "Navy" but then he went on to talk about cotton husk and military transitions. I hope that you and Gary will always be the easygoing folks that I know and love. Take care and happy trails!
We were out of town for a few days so I’ve now caught up on all your stories. While I rest at home after a 4 day trip via air travel which included car rental and hotel accommodations I am in awe and amazement of what you guys are accomplishing. What you are experiencing is so impressive and I’m so proud to know you.
I remember those very wise words from you last year, and the cool thing is; helpers are everywhere! 😎

Yes indeed, there are many “angels among us in this world of turmoil” even when while we don’t look for them…..they are there!

Well said Fred.
Helpers are everywhere, but I always add, be a helper too if you can. ❤️
