2009 Space Day in Riverside, Ca.

From Tranquilla II on the Back of Eddy Creek on Lake Barkley ---

Often we are asked, "What is it about your work that gives you the most satisfaction?" and I suppose the easiest way to explain this is to share this short video clip with you --- I call it "The Faces of Space Day in Riverside, Ca." --- this was the 12th year for this educational outreach activity and probably the best organized and attended of them all.

All the credit goes to Kay for her organizational skills and to the volunteers who make these kids lives better by sharing their time, their love and their passion for their work.

We extend our thanks to everyone. Enjoy the Muvee:

Cleaning up the 'hood - 67 volunteers and 2500 lbs of trash!

From Tranquilla II on the Back of Eddy Creek - Lake Barkley -- I am often asked: "Why do you enjoy your work?" after all it is very stressful at times; you never seem to "get away" from it all; and sometimes the folks you deal with can be very difficult and at other times just downright delightful.

Delightful, energetic, committed, fun-loving, and focused were all the folks we worked with to help the Hawthorne Civic Association to clean up their neighborhood recently.

So, I wanted to take all those pictures I took and put them into an enjoyable format so you could see for yourselves why we enjoy our work. Thanks Doug, Lil, Chuck, Pat and Ed for including us and all the Lockheed Martin and contractor volunteers.

Enjoy:
