Helping a friend in 1990

Bonnie and Larry Bacon were greeted in 1990 by about 20 friends and neighbors who had arrived to replace the Bacon’s roof.  Larry Bacon, who made regular trips to Rochester for kidney dialysis said he was “overwhelmed” as the men re-shingled the home. The project was coordinated through Redeemer Lutheran Church, in Ventura, and funded by AAL’s “Helping Hands Community Projects.”  Lending their hands were front row (L-R): Brian Pierce, Tom Fey, Terry Cobb.  Second row (L-R): Larry Bacon, Kenny Mortensen, Rev.
