Where Is Whitman, Ma.?

by altardy on June 25, 2012

  I love to go to races that are being held in places I’ve never been.  When I talk to friends, about a race I’m thinking of running on the weekend, they many times ask, “Where is ____ and why are you going THERE???” My reply is most often that #1. I’ve never been there #2. That means there will be people […]

I love to give volunteers their “props”.  I put on road races and can tell you that without volunteers they probably would not exist.  Cindy volunteers enough to have met me at other races and has appeared more than once in my blog section.  Michelle and Beth were on bikes and at vital turns on the course making […]

One Of America’s Hidden Treasures

by altardy on June 14, 2012

Americore? Americore? I’m 57 years old and until about a week ago I did not know what Americore was or that it even existed. But, instead of learning about Americore from someone, or reading about Americore  in some literature or pamphlet somewhere, I met Americore face to face. I volunteered to do painting at a Habitat […]

They Were Everywhere

by altardy on June 14, 2012

  This team of young adults could be found everywhere on the job site.  They were always busy working or trying to find work that needed to get done. There was not a part of the construction process that they didn’t have knowledge of.  They worked as a team when they were together and worked as part […]

A Few More Americore Photos

by altardy on June 14, 2012

  Here are the last of the pictures I’m going to put in my blog of the great people from Americore.  I hope to meet these wonderful people again someday. They have found a place deep in my heart that I will take with me for the rest of my life. They are friends, work mates and inspirations.   “Thank You” […]
