I owe Brian Patterson a thank-you for finding this pic. I recieved an email from him recently asking, "Hey, isn't that you and Joel (my roommate) there"? Indeed, that was us (fourth and fifth from the left) helping out during RIT ROCS, RIT's day of mass volunteerism in the Rochester community. It was quite a happy memory from fall of 2004. We were working with RochesterCares to clean up a recently demolished garage on the property of an elderly woman. Over the course of the morning, we turned the pile of rubble into a clean, tamed back yard. It was a great time and a good deed. RIT ROCS was and is an excellent event.
The following year, I was able to convince RIT President Al Simone to include the Alzheimer's Association's Memory Walk as one of the official events. The event has special significance to me, as early onset Alzheimer's killed my father. Leading a team from RIT's College of Business's Lowenthal Group, I was able to raise $1800 personally, a testament to my Father. Other team members made great contributions, bringing our team total to over $2600. Next year, my personal goal is $2200.
