Madonna at seven three at ninety eight point one The Breeze.
You've Got the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court And
as we do every Friday, at this time, we get
to announce our next Morning Breeze Person of the Week.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Yes, and this week it is Barbara who nominated her
husband Mark, and Barbara, we got your nomination. It looks
like Mark is extremely busy, and I know he's retired,
but he's so busy, So tell us why you nominated Mark.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
He does so much for the community. He drives your
meals on meals and part of the reason why is
that he finds that the people that you deliver food
to are you just only people that don't get out
much and they don't have people visiting them. And she
has conversations with them and just kind of says God
bless you, you know, and just say.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
Hi to them.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
And I think he finds it very rewarding. He also
cooks for the homeless at the Centerville Presbyterian Church on Thursdays.
She's helping refurbish a children's area at Bridges Church on Tuesdays,
and he cooks for the h Well Center on Wednesday.
So he's very busy in his retirement.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Do you ever see your husband?

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah at night?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, okay, you listened off so many great things here.
I'm looking at this like he's driving, he's cooking, he's
doing like handyman stuff. He just does so much.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
He used to be a brickmason, so he's did thatth
for like thirty seven years. And I think he just
likes interacting with people and bring joy to them and
you know, being a part of the community. So I
was like, oh, he's perfect. He would be a great candidate.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
He really is a perfect person of the week. As
a matter of fact, we've brought him on with us
and Mark, you've been listening to us the whole time.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, Mark, what do you think about all the things
that Barbara has been saying about you?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's nothing, really, I do think so.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
So driving for meals on wheels, cooking for the homeless
at church, and furbishing kid zones, it's nothing really.

hard work. So this is easy.
