How long have you volunteered?
I just started volunteering this year.

What do you like most about it, memorable moments?
Anything to do with wildlife and photography is pretty exciting to me.

What’s special about Harwich?
In the 1960s my first adventure on Cape Cod was in Harwich. Compared to the Jersey shore of my youth, it was more lush and rural, enhanced with quaint architecture.  Harwich offers a nurturing, safe environment to grow a family.

What else do you like to do for fun or other activities or volunteering?
I was a teacher, cheerleading coach, and restauranteur.  Now it’s artwork and photography.

My all-time favorite “volunteer job” is babysitting for my grandchildren: Hunter, Mae, Pierce and Deacon.  They’re our own very special “wildlife”!
