Day 64 through Day 72 – Musikfest!

Su volunteered to work with Mike at Musikfest, for 2 shifts each day, all 10 days, working from 9am until 5:30pm. This made her the volunteer who traveled the longest distance to be here … in the 23 years history or Musikfest. Su enjoyed working with Mike and Barb everyday … loved the opportunity to hear many different kinds of music, and she was able to met a lot of very nice people. There was a very nice article about Su in the newspaper which is still online and can be seen at this link.

Go to that website and page down until you see the title “One world, many volunteers” (or until you see the picture of Su).

Su is standing by a tree memorial with a plaque by Musikfest in honor of Mike’s mother, Ann.
