one of America's finest songwrit-

afternoon's highlights found Peg-

stage with Crabmeat Thompson
for a lively blues rendition of
"Stormy Monday."

Charlie Brown named Volunteer of the Quarter at James Farm
Charles "Charlie" Brown is the
newest addition to the growing
list of volunteers who are helping
with the day-to-day maintenance
at the James Farm Ecological Pre-
serve.
Brown retired to Milton,
Delaware, after working for 38
years as a Senior Computer Spe-
cialist in the Silver Spring, Mary-
land area.
Charlie and his wife Nancy also
volunteer at Trap Pond State Park.
Jim Alderman, Restoration Coor:
dinator for the Center for the In-.
land Bays, recently asked Charlie
if he was interested in doing any
computer work for the Center.
The look Jim received in response
was enough to change the subject.
Brown is ready to work outside in
the fresh air.
Charlie's involvement with tile
Center resulted from an article in
the RSVP (Retired Senior Volun-
teer Program) newsletter about
the James Farm Ecological Pre-
serve.
Brown became interested in the
many volunteer opportunities that
were described. After contacting
Elly Shackle, RSVP Volunteer
Services Coordinator, Charlie met
with Keri Maull and Jim Alder-.
man at the James Farm property.
It was a match that was meant to
be. Charlie liked the James Farm
and Maull, and Alderman liked
Charlie.
Brown's duties at the James
Farm Ecological preserve include
mowing, weed whacking, trail
maintenance, and a variety of oth-
er tasks.
In addition to volunteering at
the James Farm and Trap Pond,
Blown has been active with the
Lions Club for 27 years. Present-
ly, he and wife Nancy are mem-
bers of the Milton Lions Club.
Thanks for all your help Charlie
Brown.
