Helping my co-workers with anything they need so they can do a better job, and the hope that our facility can do something good for those less fortunate.

Meeting Michael J. Fox when he toured our facility on Feb. 1, 2005.

Babcock Hall Ice Cream Shop because of all the fun trips I’ve made there through the years with my best friend.
