Passions
I am a helper. It is intrinsically part of my everyday existence. Whether it is taking seniors to hospital procedures, mentoring, or taking someone out for some much needed fun; if you need help and I am able, you can bet that I will. Other places you may find me are hiking in the woods, peering through the eyepiece of a telescope, nose-deep in a book, or watching cartoons.
