It's good to have old friends. My friend Matt Came to visit and volunteer in the MMS hangar for a week. It has been a fun change of pace to have him turning wrenches in the hangar. I invite any of you mechanically inclines individuals to come and volunteer sometime as well. Come see what MMS is all about.
