REPAIRS ON WOOD SHINGLES COMPOSITION • SLATE • TILE TIN • SEAMLESS METAL ROOFING Marie is one of the Master Gardeners – along with Tina, Regina Howell, and Bar- bara Kachinski – who have added sewing quilts to sowing seeds. These locally-made quilts are intended for Louisa veterans, with the first going to veterans of WWII or the Korean conflict fol- lowed by Vietnam.

Marie said she heard that one veteran in a nursing home slept with his quilt every night, and another stationed in Afghanistan took his with him when he was stationed there. Among those awarded quilts in 2019 is Louisa native George H. Marshall, now 95. George wrote about his WWII service in his first of two books, “The War Years, 1943- One of the quilts made by Tina Chaleki (submitted photo). LAKE ANNA CONNECTIONS | FALL |WINTER 2020 39
