10 GROUNDCOVER NEWS VENDOR WEEK dear GROUNDCOVER VENDORS, Shoutout Gary Leverett, Mike Jones, and Joe Woods!! Appreciate your good energy and always so good seeing you on the street. Dear Shelley, your generosity and positivity, even when facing hardships and disease, are truly inspiring. You've got legions rooting for you! Love the artwork of James Manning. Big shoutout to Mike Jones! Always so good to see you walkin through the door at the Daytime Warming Center in between selling papers because I know we're going to have some great conversations. Much love to vendor No. 113. If I'm being completely honest, my favorite thing about the Old Town Tavern is the $5 cheap can and a well (I think it might be $6 now...). But my next favorite thing is getting a paper from Tony! Always good to see you and hear some wild stories from selling Groundcover. I love seeing Groundcover Vendors selling papers. I always look forward to the opportunity to talk with them. I'm grateful for the work that they do and I'm always better for having had the conversation. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for all your years of commitment and hard work. Glen, always grateful to have your honest perspective on things, in the office and paper. Knowing you’re getting more involved in peer support work outside of Groundcover is an affirmation of who you are. Like you say, you landed in the right place with the right people around you. Shout out to Shawn S. for finding your stride selling papers again. Your drive and patience to try out new sales spots is notable. Hang in there as you keep figuring it out. Glad to have you back!

Nichols Arcade wouldn’t be what it is if Juliano wasn’t selling there! Never stop sharing your philosophical insights with us. Miss you Hal. The office is quieter without your swoonful singing of oldies from the 50s and 60s. Miss you too Gary R. You had a bit of a jokester character about you — made me chuckle from time to time. What would Groundcover do if we didn’t have Will S. reminding us of the moments in history we should not forget. Your articles are informative and timely — thank you for always being a teacher to us. Pony, Pony, Pony! You’re one of the best-dressed sports fans there are! Appreciate all the times I’ve caught up with you outside the downtown library. Look forward to the next time we catch-up there! Pony Bush JANUARY 26, 2024 I appreciate how friendly and nice you all are. I have asked for the time or directions on occasion and you've gone beyond the call of duty to help me out.
