COLUMN: THE GOOD NEIGHBOR FUND
Ellen Jamison of Salem made her first donation to the Good Neighbors Fund two years ago. It was in memory of her brother-in-law, Dave Lamanca, who died in a plane crash in September 1994, and in honor of his son, Jayson, who was born just months after his father's death.
"Dave liked helping people and the community, especially kids," she said. "He refereed at rec league basketball games and high school junior varsity games."
This year she gave to the fund again, this time to celebrate the new-found happiness of her sister, Kristi Lamanca, who was married to Greg Gearhart this November.
"As I remember Dave, I want to give as he would - to help those in need," Jamison said.
