The college knows an army works on its stomach so they fed us well, and often. We started every workday with a great breakfast selection in their fine, modern dining hall. Then we broke for a great lunch!!
Don did tile work last year so the Team Leader found out I could do a little and next thing we knew we were on our knees, no a/c, doing stairwells and dorm halls. Add a library front room, a little carpentry work and our dance card was full for the three weeks!!!
Ava and Linda got to sit down on the job - a lot - and do wall after wall of "cutting in" for the painter.You gotta know, there really is a lot of satisfaction seeing a floor or a wall totally changed and improved by your labor.
Here is Captain Glenn, the painter on both our Spring Sojourns, with his York painting crew. He was mighty impressed how carefully they 'cut in' and how much they could prepare for him to 'roll on'. His standard comment about their work was "excellent, excellent" - you can see he knew how to keep a woman hard at work.
