Ted Jack
treet Roots vendor, volunteer and
supporter Ted Jack is headed north
to take up fishing in Alaska after
many years with the organization. We wish
him well in his travels and hope to see him
this way again soon. Ted’s involvement
with the vendor program began with
simply selling the paper, but he expanded
his role as a front desk volunteer, cook and
overall mentor for the many vendors who
pass through our office each year.
“To all the people who have supported
me through the past years, I thank you. I
have sold Street Roots for five years and
now it’s time for me to go. I will truly miss
my com er on Second and Taylor. You
people that support us at Street Roots
truly are needed and appreciated. I’m
moving out of state to begin a new chapter
in my life. This last one was great. Thank
you all.”

C hanging Lives
Time is precious and dear, it goes by too fast
No time to enjoy and no time to relax
When you want it to stop it will only progress
Every minute goes by there may not be another minute left
The story of life imprinted in numbers
It starts at birth and it’s heavier than lumber
Time persistently rolls like a ball down the hill
It’s a shame that tíme doesn’t feel
If it could, time would come to a halt
Time would hurt like an open wound dashed with salt
I only wish that this were true
Time does not feel like we do.
