Some things in life just amaze me. And when that thing is a self-less act that fact just amplifies my amazement. Todays guest, Dr. Marc Bard and his organization “Paintings for a Purpose” are a living example of what I’m talking about. He paints, then sells the paintings and then gives away ALL of the money from the sales. ALL of it! "100% of our sales revenue is donated…"  His paintings are whimsical, sometimes touching watercolors that are snapshots of life in NH. A wonderful conversation with a local hero (my words not his).
