Sammy Celebrates 3
I met Sam a little less than 3 years ago, while watching the Jaywalker alumni softball team. I could immediately tell that he was fresh to town and was more than likely a Jaywalker by the sheepish look on his face. I introduced myself, and he told me that he had come from Caron Treatment […]
The Money Drop
Our newest day technician, Wesley Shelmire, recently took a trip home for a “sober spring break!” Now, this wasn’t any normal Spring Break. Between AA meetings and working on his program, Wesley took it upon himself to send it off some cliffs. This wasn’t some rinky-dink waterfall. This was the 60 foot “Money Drop,” waterfall […]
Larsen Celebrates 6
Larsen and I have become best friends over the last six years. He is my brother. We have that unshakeable bond of having escaped common peril. When Peyton asked if I could write a piece on Larsen for his sixth birthday I was thrilled. There were three qualities that immediately came to mind: values, stability, […]

Walking Together
We walked together making this family program the quintessential Jaywalker experience. We had men from our whole continuum, Lodge, Solutions, Sober-Living and MIOP, proving to all that remaining in our care is a good thing to do. Jacquie calmed us down while Art Kleinschmidt showed his many skills. The mountain gave us perfect snow and […]
