What I
Believe, and Some of my Heroes
Social Justice:
Founded
New Covenant House of Hospitality Soup Kitchen,
Stamford, CT in 1973. Still in existence
having
served over 2,000,000 meals. A project I feel really good about since it
directly helps a lot of very unfortunate people, including many little
children. Photo taken during the soup kitchen era at a coffeehouse. Played
the guitar most of my life and actually entertained the idea (for about an
hour) of doing it for a living.
