is not often that you meet someone
who truly loves their work, who
goes to their "job" every day with
exuberance and passion.
We'd like you to meet Carol Fink, a
park ranger at Kensington Metro Park
near Milford. She tends to the cows,
chickens, horses and goats at the park's
farm interpretive center, but she is equal-
ly at home and joyful with the children
and adults who visit her farm family.
AppleTree Editor Elizabeth Apple-
baum does a masterful job of capturing
Carol in her element. Please enjoy
Elizabeth's AppleTree feature on page 36.
