Veteran seeks a little help

HAYDEN — A local veteran could use a hand.

Maybe a couple of them.

The veteran and his wife are both having serious health problems. One of their joys — their gardening — has turned into an autumn chore that they can’t handle right now.

“I’m crippled up with cancer and both of my legs and my back are hurt,” the veteran told The Press, “so I could really use some volunteer help.”

Cleaning up the garden and doing some rototilling are top priorities, he said.

If you can pitch in, please call Mike Patrick at The Press — 664-0227 — and he’ll put you in touch with the veteran.
