new summer staff

The short term volunteers have come and we have the usual amount of high school students, teachers, retirees, etc. The same as we have any year, except this year we have Marcus. Marcus is in his late twenties and retired from the Army. Yes, you read that right. This guy's "been there, done that" list reads like a comic book hero. He's an Army Ranger who has a confirmed kill count, several shrapnel and small arms fire injuries. After a piece of shrapnel from an IED (roadside bomb) gave him his second Purple Heart, the Army forced him out and through his friend (and my former roommate) Geoff, he found his way here. This guy is fun to talk to and really adds to the session.
