It took a village !
Here are some photos of the resurrection of the Shippey House that took place last Saturday.
Citizens of all stripes and philosophies came early and worked their hearts out until – voila – see for yourself …….
(all the photos are courtesy of Cal Deal ……thanks Cal)
In a little over 3 hours, about 75 volunteers …..
Business people, historical activists, high school students, neighborhood leaders, church people, even ……
politicians !!!
The effort took a lot of faith and trust …..
Caldwell Cooper, (who is donating an all new front porch), almost holding the ladder for me !
The day finished on a high note ……
I guess the lesson is that we can save important parts of our past, yet build for the future !
