Dear Duke,
To be honest, we
weren’t sure what to think
when you arrived out of
the blue last Thursday.
With your hat pulled low
over dark sunglasses and
a pristine white bandana
covering any other iden-
tifying traits, we couldn’t
help but wonder what
brought The Invisible Man
to our office.
We get a fair share of
quirky visitors – and we
adore them all – but you
were unique in so many
smile-inducing ways. (If
you are a woman, Duke,
kudos on the lengths to
which you went to dis-

He said he was glad he
got the opportunity to serve
his community, even if it was
only a few members.
“This isn’t the time to save

share, if you have enough to
share. The only way we’re go-
ing to get through this is if
we get through this together,”

Because he has been able
to work from home, Peyree
was fortunate enough to have
extra money to spend on fire-

year he’d seen empty firework
stands, which made him think
people were skipping the fire-
works to make ends meet.
