Well, there’s a lesson for our children: Not in My Backyard. How about discussion with the St. John’s Episcopal Church before calling in someone else to do your work?

I may not live in Bangor, but I am prepared to make a serious donation associated with an adopted strategy to address homelessness in Bangor and I challenge John Bapst Memorial High School to do the same.
