"Philly Corners" in The Philadelphia Inquirer - June 2010
In his job of helping people fix up their homes, Ray Gant encountered another need: overgrown lawns and backyards. And for the city's seniors, he's offering to tame them free.
There are indeed "Earth Angels," people who have dedicated their lives to helping others.
On Friday, November 19th from 6 - 10 pm at the Beautiful View Banquet Facilities located 800 N. Broad Street (the former Traffic Court Building), 11 Philadelphia-area "angels" will be honored at the Harvest Fest Recognition Dinner.
He found religion, sort of, in helping make poor people's homes more livable.

My friend Willard Bostock used to devote his Sundays to high-adventure sports -- kayaking, snowboarding, ice and rock climbing. When he wasn't using the time in pursuit of action, Sunday was his chance to work on home improvement projects at his house along the Delaware River in Yardley. From September through January, of course, Sunday was for watching the Eagles.
