Thank you to Carmelle and Dick Paulson

Before the pandemic broke out, Carmelle and Richard Paulson were looking forward to getting involved with FWC. They’d been in VT for 10 years but always kept their Deering Avenue home with plans to return. Sadly Dick passed away this winter. Carmelle kindly thought of supporting Friends of Woodfords Corner as a way to honor him.

One of the most satisfying aspects of volunteering for FWC is getting to know neighbors. Several of Dick’s friends and family members contacted FWC to honor his memory by making a donation. It was a joy to learn about his dedication to others. Dick was a visionary for restoration and revitalization of Portland, and while we didn’t get to work with him, we are honored by his memory and grateful for the generosity of Carmelle and his loved ones.
