Congratulations to Doug Pogson for making the right identifi cation in last week’s “Guess Who Got Sketched” contest. He was one of several readers answering correctly. But he was the only one to have his name picked in a drawing from the green Boston Red Sox cap. Here’s the correct answer, offered by the person who goes by the name of The Sketch Artist: “The answer to last week’s sketch is Joyce Rodenhiser. Joyce is a very gentle lady who has quite a long list of accomplishments, but you would not know that by her words only — with sight of her actions! “Joyce is a doer who is always doing for others and for the betterment of her Community. She goes about her business, taking care to fi ll other’s buckets, some that were carelessly scooped by others, she leaves many feeling better just from her genuineness of care and concern. “The year 2015 found Joyce reigned in as Our Woman of the year. Quite an achievement! Of course, Joyce was totally surprised by such a deserving title! “She is a true giver who gives from the heart. Joyce has been a member of Saugus Garden Club and many enjoy her Books in Blooms library displays each year. Joyce is often found doing things for others, although in a quiet behind-the-scenes kinda way. She is always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear to neighbors and friends. Joyce is warm and inviting in conversations. “Joyce can be found supporting Veteran’s functions and our Town Events. “She is a Saugus native who loves her hometown! She spent 30 years as an educator, retiring in 2002 as a Teacher at Metropolitan Vocational School in Wakefi eld, but she still teaches … She Volunteered to teach children sewing at Saugus Public Library and spent time teaching knitting to Seniors at the Center who wanted to learn. “Joyce is a SAVE member who served as Secretary and Vice President and President through the years. She even taught an outreach to children about environmental learning. Joyce reigned with a quilting president title of the Hammersmith Quilters Guild. “She was also a familiar member of the Annual Town Meeting. Thank you for ALL you do and the many ways you shine your light out there for others through all your concern and education and desire of teaching! “Yours Truly, “The Sketch Artist” Concerts for vets Rockin 4 Vets presents “Homegrown Rock Concerts” and “Throw Back Thursdays” for New England Vets this summer at the Kowloon Restaurant’s outdoor venue on Route 1 North in Saugus.
