Thought you might to want see where they live.
 
 
 
THIS is the Wind Tunnel. Fancy huh?
 
 
Not too bad inside...but that will most likely change after a few days
of 26 boys living here:)
 
 
There aren't even any shoes on the floor...yet.
 
 
 
This is the Day Room where we gather at night to end our day with
"good news and bad news" and family prayer. Try to imagine 30 chairs set up
in this little room. It can get very cozy! 
 
 
This is where they eat all their meals, rain or shine.
 
 
 
Our wonderful caterer, Rod. He is SOOOO great!  He truly loves
the Work Crew and does everything he can to make meal time
enjoyable.
 
 
Right now, this is their favorite thing to do.
In a few days it will be second to sleep :)
 
 
 
HI MOM!!!!
 
 
This the field where they "play". Not much time for that right now
but they will use it...eventually.
 
 
 
Some of their fearless leaders.
Brother Hess, Brother Jurgens, and Brother Phelon.
(the YM will tell you that you don't mess with Brother Phelon :))
 
I still need to get a picture of Brother Call
(or should I say Brother "Tall"  He is 6'4"), our Work Crew Assistant.
He was on Work Crew in 2007 and a District Leader in 2008.
When he leaves the Hill he will be headed off to pilot training for the Air Force.

I was a part of the 1976 Work Crew and I slept in the top bunck nearest the bathroom/shower room every night for six weeks. These photographs bring back great memories. When I was there, we had a food building up the road from the Wind Tunnel (about fifty yards) where all of our meals were prepared and served, but it looks like it is no longer used. My summer in New York was one of the great experiences of my life. I'm glad to see the Wind Tunnel is still standing and serving the work crew.
