According to Morgan, her new volunteer is 100 percent dependable. “1 can always count on him to have things done. It's so great to have the paper on time for a change. He's always thinking about ways to improve the quality and content. He’s genuinely interested in older folks and that’s conveyed in the newsletter. We absolutely could not do The Voice without Capt. Holschuh. And he’s sooooo nice to work with.” said Morgan.
Helen has also donated time to the seniors. She recently organized the Rappahannock Garden Club's poster contest at the Area Agency's nutrition program sites, providing suggestions on design and helping with art work. “It was a great project for our older folks.” Morgan reported.
Helen's involvement with the Rappahannock County Garden Club runs "from A to Z,” noted club member Marge Exton. "For our yearbook, she whips out some things and we win a prize or at least an honorable mention. When we have to have an exhibit for a flower show in Luray and everybody else is just sitting on their hands, Helen volunteers ‘I’ll do it,’ and she always does it weU. I can go on and on and on..." Mrs. Exton said.
She's been the go-getter for the Rappahannock Historical Society, too. She was the creative force behind the booklet for the walking tour of the town of Washington. "Helen was the one who went around to the homes and businesses and gathered all the information,” said Kathy Kiley, her co-worker on the project.
She took all the information and documents gathering dust in the Historical Society’s basement and organized the material into files. She’s catalogued family graveyards, organized piles of newspaper clippings, and collected stories on the county’s oldest homes. Currently president of the Society. Helen has transformed the meetings from dull but faithful adherence to every dotted “i" and crossed
in Robert’s Rules of Order to lively and informative sessions featuring tours of historic Montpelier and oral history slide and tape shows.
Helen has a deep and abiding love for animals as well as for people—at least for one certain type of animal. She's the selfappointed turtle savior for the county, picking up the vulnerable creatures from back roads and highways and carrying them to safety at the Holschuhs’ turtle sanctuary. "Don’t forget the turtles or it wouldn't be them!” admonished Mrs. Lancaster, w ife of Mt. Lebanon’s pastor.
