Steve and Sally Newton from Nacogdoches drove up to help us celebrate our 25th Habitat home.  Reverend Newton, the pastor of the Presbyterian Church  in 1993, guided a group interested men and women through the detailed Habitat for Humanity chartering process.  Our first home was completed in 1994.  Sally wore many hats during those years. She painted, taped and bedded, and laid floor tile and just about any other job that came along.
