I would like to help, but am not sure I can get away from work during that time.

Thanks, guys. CAPT Barb Geraghty, USN (Ret) and Meredith McNulty (widow of CWO4 Ed McNulty, USN) joined Kathy and I to take care of a large yard. The shipmate's wife also helped. It was good to have 10 hands instead of 2 hands and it went fast. Next time I should do this on a weekend - more people able to participate.

Capt. Jim -
With all the retired Navy (IUSS) folks in the Tidewater area, I would have thought you would get a whopping response to your request - but, agree that it may have worked better on a weekend. If I were closer, I would have jumped on it. Glad to see that you did get some help - many hands do make light work, that's for sure.

We have a church group of men that do one Saturday (2 hours) each month for single moms to help them out, so I am very familiar with their needs.

Nice to see someone taking an interest in those needing help......God Bless
