A friendly visitor, occasional shopper and overall buddy to discuss current events is needed for a local man who is legally blind but managing well. This individual is a retired from manufacturing and from his second career as a flea market vendor. He would love to tell his stories and tour his collections including vintage post cards, cooking and product brochures, signs and graphics, books and more! Spend some time with this local man who has a rich history of "stuff and stories" No special skills are needed, just an interest in getting to know a neighbor who loves nature, collecting and spending time with others. This is a unique opportunity to be inspired and meet a new friend.
