| There would
be no Tree Swallow Nesting Projects without Hal Wasserman.
Hal is totally responsible for this organization coming into being. He
is the "CFO" and he did all the work required to get TSNP, incorporated.
Hal is a retired Junior High teacher of Social Studies and Science. He
currently is a tax preparer and real estate broker. Hal is the guiding
light of TSNP. The Tree Swallows and everyone involved with the project
owe a lot to him. |
