"Will you give back to support the GAP?"

   "On the Great Allegheny Passage, you all travel past my 11-acre plot of land in Whitsett, Pennsylvania, where migrants and immigrants – men like my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather – once proudly labored in mines owned by the Pittsburgh Coal Company.  I have a love affair with this piece of land.  Men died here. People suffered.  I believe it is sacred ground.

  "Today, it's home to The Ruins Project, where I'm helping artists create mosaic on imperfect brick and concrete walls, to tell the story of this part of the world.  The Ruins Project makes a direct connection between those who are gone and those who are still here.  It’s beautiful. I hope you’ll sign up for a tour.
