ALBION – Bob and Shirley Gouger of Waterport were out Saturday morning watering the flowers in downtown Albion.
The Gougers were volunteering for the task for the first time on Saturday. They used the water truck from Village of Albion Department of Public Work.

Kent is a retired social studies teacher in Kendall. Mr. Gouger is a former student of Kent’s. He volunteered when Kent said volunteers are needed on the weekends.
