PIANO IN THE KITCHEN

We just finished renovating a school and we headed back for the last day to give some drinks to the volunteers who are finishing up the final clean up of the school. As i park the car i hear music coming from the KITCHEN. This is what i found. Chip taught himself to play the piano and does not know how to read music........tom

Another hard day on the set. We are working very hard and it is very rewarding. The schools are in dire need of help and the communities are pitching in to effect change. Wait until you see the stories....tom

Denise Cramsey, Executive Producer of School Pride

For those of you that don't know this is Denise Cramsey the Executive producer of School Pride. When you watch the video you will see why we all care so much about this "vision". She shares her dream with us to help communities help themselves. The more we do at these schools the more we realize it is not about the school as much as it is about the people who live in the community. The school is the heart beat of the community. It is an honor to be a part of this....tom

THE ATTIC

There is a lot of effort by everyone to make this happen, but one of the top dogs in the construction end is our man "T-BONE". He pulls long hours and is always on the move. He also played pro football for the NY Jets, but he doesn't talk about it much. This is a video of T-bone and i lowering a 1930's chandelier to the floor 30 feet below. The attic was so cool. It was like going back in time because if you think about attics never change. It was very cool. It took us about 15 minutes to lower the chandelier to the ground.......tom

This is our film crew about 40 feet up on a boom filming us putting in some paneling in an auditorium. Remember, every time you see a host doing something risky, the film crew is right there with them, but they have a 35 pound camera in their hands....tom
