Loma operates out of a wheelchair, having had polio in her younger years. She helps with the scheduling and upkeep of the meeting place. She dusts, from her wheelchair, as high as she can reach and handles many other tasks. She marks all the goods that this gang fences in their yard sales. Loma also keeps a scrapbook of all the gangs successes. Clyde Jasperson, the present time, is recovering from a serious illness but is still involved in the underground. A year ago, he kept a leaky old boiler in the basement going until it could be replaced. He literally "baby sat" that old piece of equipment going until summer came and it could be turned off.

Next year, the gang, if they get the land back, have plans for a park. Robert Bird also has ties to this movement. His son, Brian Bird, sculpted a statue of Chief Peteetneet.
