Dan
Davenport
Dan
Davenport is leader of the Greater
Cleveland PC Users Group Hardware Special Interest
Group and the Computers
Assisting People. Members of the hardware group learn
how to repair and build computers from parts. Then some of
the more proficient students volunteer checking and refurbishing
computers given to them by large companies. The completed
machines are distributed to non-profit organizations who in
turn give them to people who need but cannot afford them.
Mr. Davenport, who is retired from fixing computers for the
U.S. Postal Service, also provides much time to help deserving
club members and others in his home shop in the Glenville
neighborhood on Cleveland's East Side.

Suzanne DeGaetano
Suzanne
DeGaetano Suzanne DeGaetano, co-owner and operator of Mac's
Backs Paperback Bookstore in the Coventry Village
neighborhood of Cleveland Heights. She is called by John Ettorre,
a Cleveland-based writer, "one of Cleveland's Seven Wonders
of the World." Key into Google.com the words "Mac's
Backs" and you'll see much evidence that she takes
concerned interest in many writers and their projects. Not
only will she lend an encouraging word she'll also tell a
writer when he or she is "too bitter."
Such
supportive and instructive critique provides rare help. She
hosts many events produced by individuals and small organizations
for small interested audiences. She offers one of four book
booths at the Hessler Street Fair as well as participate in
numerous other literary and special interest events in the
store's basement and larger venues elsewhere. For an example
of just one of a wide variety of innovations Mac's Backs has
made possible just check out Mac's
Backs Sustainable Resources List.

Tim
Donovan
Tim
Donovan is director of the
Ohio Canal Corridor Association. He drives a bus that
contains a panorama of the historic Ohio and Erie Canal to
street fairs all over Cleveland and presents history to wide
eyed children and adults. If you need a dinner speaker, ask
Tim Donovan. He is most affable, lulling an audience into
a mood of comfortable familiarity.
The
Ohio Canal Corridor Association is part of the National Heritage
Corridor project that is slowly building a trail of over 100
miles following the old Ohio and Erie Canal as part of a National
Scenic Byway. This includes the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad
and other features in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and
connects parks along the old Ohio & Erie Canal. The most
recent development is the Cleveland Metropark Canal Reservation
with nature sprouting amidst heavy industry.
Mr. Donovan witnessed the burning Cuyahoga River when it famously
caught fire in 1969. That incident was a major spark behind
the national environmental movement which led to the first
Earth Day on April 22, 1970. It is hoped that the great blackout
of August 2003, (found to have been caused near Cleveland)
does just as good in encouraging nationwide conservation and
"distributed generation" of electrical power, as
that Cuyhoaga River fire did for Earth Day.
