Outside of Travelers Aid, when he isn’t with his grandson, Ralph grows a number of vegetables in his home garden.

With the amount of vegetables Ralph grows, he can probably run a weekly stall at a local farmers market. But, he insists that he gardens for his own pleasure, eventually giving away his produce to friends and family.

Ralph utilizes his finite amount of space with organized sections of all his vegetables. Spread across the ground and a number of pots, you’ll find staples such as lettuce, carrots, cucumbers and corn.

There are also more exotic plantings like Bok Choy, Swiss chard and yellow, red and orange sweet and hot peppers. Ralph finds that gardening is a great way to pass the time. His wife gets to enjoy fresh salads from his hard work. Hours will go by in the blink of an eye, while he happily tends to his garden.

Our volunteer Ralph celebrated 10 years with Travelers Aid this past February. After his retirement, his wife encouraged him to do something that allowed him to “maintain his focus and sharpness.” He learned about Travelers Aid through an acquaintance who worked at the airport. A decade later he still enjoys, “meeting people, passengers, and the occasional basketball player or film star.” Ralph has a uniquely easy going approach to welcoming and greeting passengers. We’re grateful for all his years of service.

Winter Storm Advisory Sunday evening through early Monday morning. Check with airlines before you travel.

The several inches of snow that whitened New York City and Boston to start the weekend was just a preview of a more widespread winter storm that will hit the northeastern United States with heavy snow and rain to end the weekend.
