After their marriage, Anita remained at home to raise their son. When Roy got his first guide dog in 1987, he said his boss was uneasy about the idea of having a dog in a machine shop. But they worked it out and Roy and his dog stayed until Roy's retirement in 1990. Arizona has been home for Anita, Roy and their son since they moved from New Jersey following Roy's retirement. Stripping cassettes sounds easy but anyone who has done it knows otherwise.
Some labels pull off easily but many have to be scraped.
Roy found a cleaner called Goo Gone which helps but still it takes a lot of elbow grease and hard work. Roy and Anita both look at what needs to be done and willingly do it. They enjoy working with staff and volunteers to provide talking books. We thank them for their dedication and are pleased to recognize them as Volunteers of the Quarter. Each Volunteer of the Quarter article accompanied by a picture of the volunteer hangs on a poster in the hallway at the Braille and Talking Book Library and the Mesa Public Library for a three month period.
