We walked together up the street and talked for a bit. She told me her concerns about the stunt. To my surprise, she also gave me a few tips.

There was a small crowd assembled at the intersection at the bottom of the hill. More people were there than I had asked to be. I guess news spreads like a fire.

I think it's cool that she is moving on to another organization, but I think her position should be permanent tecause I feel a lot of programs she started may fall through the cracks once she is gone. I wish Ginger the best of luck and I hope she doesn't forget us." Ogilvie said, "My experience as a VISTA Volunteer at Westminster has been phenomenal. I have watched the volunteer center grow with pride and amazement. I will miss the students and the rest of the community terribly, but I have high hopes for everyone with Heather on board."
