We have a neighbor who has worked several jobs that require a long drive each day. I used to wonder why he didn't move until the first time I saw the clearing he created a few hundred yards behind his house here on Moose Mountain. I don't wonder why he stays around anymore. Go ahead and click the photo to see a panorama that has to be seen to be fully appreciated. This photo was taken Friday morning.•

Former Dartmouth starting quarterback Alex Jenny '10 is running the Boston Marathon next month in support of Horizons for Homeless Children and is hoping for your support. Alex writes that Horizons is . . .
". . . an incredible organization that assists in the early development of homeless children. The organization does amazing work teaching children vital life skills, and helping the children's families back onto their feet and into permanent housing situations.If you would like to help Alex help the kids, you may donate online by clicking the donate tab on Alex's CrowdRise page. Or you can send a check to:
Through the introduction by my parents, Chris and Andi Jenny, I became interested in helping Horizons expand their reach and further their impact in the community. I have recently joined their "Young Professionals Group" to help raise awareness among a new generation of potential volunteers and donors.
Walking through their Community Children's Center is truly amazing - all of the children are smiling, playing with toys, painting, doing all of the things that many children take for granted. These opportunities are available to these children thanks to generous donations from individuals like yourself! They truly love the generous, selfless volunteers who spend their days volunteering and caring for the children."
