    this is the corporate web site for where I work. Alex is an artist and I have piece of his pottery in my garden. He is an absolute hoot and has a fabulous sense of humor, which he demonstrates non-verbally. I work with him in the group: Handicapables. Kevin is a soft spoken gentleman who I enjoyed working with as his employment counselor. Duffy is a trickster and works very hard also. these are just some of the wonderful people we serve.
