To The Eagle:
I'm writing this letter to publicly express my gratitude to the four FFA boys from Wahkiakum High School and their teacher, Kyle Hurley, for the much needed help I received from them last weekend.
They loaded 75 concrete blocks, each weighing at least 40 pounds, onto a flatbed truck and transported them from my good and generous friend Michele Smith's farm to my yard where they neatly stacked them in rows. I plan to use them for two 4' x 8' raised garden beds. The boys and Kyle did this for me as a community service project, a job I could never have completed on my own.
As I explained to Mr. Hurley, I don't mind the gray hair and wrinkles of aging, but losing the ability to lift and work hard physically without the fear of injury is the pits.
So, again, thanks to WHS's great FFA program, Kyle Hurley and the four young men who helped me with my garden project.
