Good neighbor

Neighbors who walked by 5739 Meletio Lane were greeted with a mask tree. Darden McGlothlin welded a stainless-steel tree and decorated it with masks housed in Ziploc sandwich bags. On their walks, people came by and took one. “I’m an early adopter of staying in and staying away from people,” he says. “I watch a lot of YouTube videos. That’s how I learned to weld.”
