Pine Island resident donates 20 bicycles to children of the island
To the editor:
Capt. Harry Haskins has lived on Pine Island for 10 years, originally from the Detroit area. The environment and the people of Pine Island have warmed his heart … especially the children. With the help of Pine Island Elementary Principal Rob Mazzoli, and his wonderful teachers, Capt. Harry reached out and purchased 20 brand new bicycles for kids who were in need of a bike.
Capt. Harry delivered each bicycle personally and met each child and their family. His generosity will be felt in the hearts of these families for some time to come and perhaps, as the years pass for those children …. they will remember what Capt. Harry did for them and they will also give back to their communities.
I you have the fortune to meet Capt. Harry on the island … thank him and shake his hand for his generosity to our fantastic children.
