Brick by brick

I've spent a fair amount of time in this space talking about the local Habitat for Humanity chapter and what it's done here in the Big Friendly. Recently I discovered that my old high school back in South Carolina is supporting the Sea Island chapter on Johns Island: there's a full-fledged student club, under the direction of Brenda Buckley-Kuhn, doing volunteer work, including the brick-and-mortar stuff, for the chapter once a month (Saturday, 8 to 4). There are about thirty members of the club, which obviously didn't exist when I was in school: Habitat was founded in 1976, long after I'd escaped into the wild. As an alumnus and occasional donor, I'm happy to see that the Auld School is still on the path of righteousness.
