I did not know this man until too late. When I learned about his work - his MISSION - with Rent To Own when I was helping to prepare breakfasts for Kamp Dovetail, I was overwhelmed with amazement. It sounds like we residents of Highland County were/are blessed to have had him involved in our community. Yes! I want to learn more!
