"The first day of construction was so great. We couldn't speak at the groundbreaking ceremony because of the emotion of the moment. There were no words for how we felt." --Guadalupe Rendon Lupe had nothing but praise for the site hosts (Judy Schmidt and Pat Harrington), crew chief (Jere Humphreys), and team leaders (Bob Schmidt, Mike Swanson, and David Humphreys), who worked on her new home. From Builder's Bulletin, Fall 2002. |
