Somehow, it makes me feel good that even the big guys have trouble finding enough volunteers. I was also pleased to see that our Surratt House serves almost as many school children a year as does Hildene. Several years ago, we topped the 3000 mark.

I will say that, in my younger days, I would be tempted to move to that beautiful area and volunteer at that magnificent site -- they would just have to cure those damnable cold winters up there...
