M.·.E.·. James Douglass is almost ready to come home. He would be there already, it appears, save for one critical issue: he now requires the use of a wheel chair. All that sits between him and that goal of returning to his Somerset home is the building of a wheelchair ramp.
Jim spoke to E.·. Dustin M. Werstler, High Priest of St. Mark’s, and asked him to install a ramp on his behalf. To better understand what he was up against, Dustin found www.wheelchairramp.org which provides instructions, helpful advice, handy resources, and engineering plans. Dustin then went to Comp. Al Noles for his experienced advice. Considering the short notice and inherent difficulty in recruiting volunteers, it was quickly decided that a contractor would have to be hired.
Dustin has met local construction companies, at times with Jim’s daughter present, and has been in regular communication with Jim.
One Companion of St. Mark’s who choses to remain anonymous donated $100 towards this costly project. If you would like to make a donation, please call Dustin at 508-916-1377.
