Alex Croft – A Journey of Independence

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, I sit down and talk to my grandson, Alex Croft.

This is the second time that I have had Alex on my podcast.  The first was two years ago between his Junior and Senior year of high school.  The first episode, we recorded in his backyard in Pennsylvania.  This episode, we recorded in our RV while we were staying in Homer, Alaska.

Back in May, Alex, with just his 7-month-old Jack Russell mix puppy, Cooper, by his side, embarked on a journey of independence.  They drove from Myerstown, Pennsylvania to Great Falls, Montana to meet our group that was traveling throughout Alaska and Canada this summer.

Dan and Sandy – The Northern Adventure Continues

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, Sandy and I talk more about our amazing summer long northern adventure through Canada and Alaska.

We traveled over 300 miles of dirt and gravel roads and saw some of the most amazing waterfalls you could ever imagine.

Birds of a Feather

As the old English proverb says, “Birds of a feather flock together.”

The meaning of the proverb is that beings (typically humans) of similar type, interest, personality, character, or another distinctive attribute tend to mutually associate.

I think that is a great description for the fellow volunteers who we have met over the past couple of years through A Year to Volunteer (Y2V). It was no different for those who came together at our most recent Y2V project at the Raptor Education Group (REGI) in Antigo, Wisconsin.  Just like the birds that we would be helping for the next two weeks, our group of volunteers migrated from all over the country to land in Antigo.  We came from the north, south, east, and west to lend a hand to this amazing organization.  We were all from different backgrounds, yet all have the same desire to give back.  Many of us had worked on previous projects together, so we greeted each other with smiles and hugs.
