Davis walks into a big project. Today it's about leadership and community service. A make-over of the day school play area at Calvary Episcopal Church, and recruit and organize a team to accomplish the task at hand. The scouts from troop 34, friends, and family all turned out to make it a successful event. Everyone worked , played , visited and had a wonderful time.
Cloody and I were on hand for moral support, and considered it a real pleasure to be present. We too enjoyed ourselves and had a fun day.
Several additions were added to the play area that should make it more interesting and fun for all. My favorite is the new water table . A small pond above ground making it easily accessible. Constructed from a couple of jet engine intake covers, bolted together, and mounted in an inverted position, resting on PVC uprights. Filled with water, it's just right for sailing a paper boat or maybe making mud pies. Bring on the yellow ducks. Who knows, the Peabody may have competition.

Dan is certainly does a wonderful job with the boys of Troop 34. A man who is very dedicated to teaching, and working with today's youth. It's truly amazing the support and following he gets from all. Not only just the boys but parents as well. Thank to Dan for making this project a a success.

It was nice having Terri Purvis on hand for Saturday's event. Terri is a teacher at Calvary and had Davis in her class over ten years ago. What an asset she is to the Calvary Place. She was interested in the project and how it will help the children's play area. She personally planted the monkey grass along the building that was part of the overall plan. A big thanks to Terri

Just like Old Home Week seeing Terri again. From left to right: Phil, Frank, Terri, and Jamie.
Terri and I had to have a few words remembering when Davis was in her care. We each had a story to tell, but I'm not getting into them at the present. Good seeing Terri again.
