Blog : Xavier--
I read your article in the Beta magazine and thought your trip sonded sweet. I was a Beta at Kenyon in Ohio. I graduated in 2001 and live in Eastern kentucky now where I work for the Red Cross. My story is similar. The details are different. I was born and rew up in DC. after 9/11 I decided to shake thinsup and start doing more service. Eventualy last spring I finnaly went to doing service full time and became a VISTA volunter which is how I came down here to Appalachia. I left my job on K street with a trade asociation. I am basicaly here being a full time volunteer and love it. I am also on the MIllard East Shelbiana Fire Rescue. The region we live in is extremly poor. Pike county is one of the poorest ocunties in Kentucky which is one of the poorest states in the US. Our department is great. I love the guys on it and lovebing on it. Of course I love the rush, but really get a lot out of doing it. We have been trying to get more gear and better stuff. I for instance do not have pants as part of my turn out geat. I have contacted Gear-up and a few other places like Helping our Own.
Any suggestions on geing stuf would be great. Anyways, I will take a lok at your site from time to time and see what you have been up to. Once again, Loved the article, and knowing tha there are other betas out there who have decided to give their lives to service. redcrossandrew@yahoo.com
