It's very hard, very hard, to pick one child's work over another, because they are all deserving of the award (to hang in the Statehouse). Eventually one piece just stands out.

Seeing the smiles on the children's faces just makes everything worthwhile.

It can be months or years before they can find work.

I've also found the clients of Marshall-Starke to be dependable. They show up, they're eager to work, they have a smile on their face, and we appreciate that.

I often leave work anywhere up to five hours late.

We still need to work on being aggressive with the bats against better pitchers. We did a good job and they played hard. We got some girls some experience at different positions. I was happy with what I saw. We did well competing against a good team.
