It’s the Same, But It’s Different…Jery Y. Huntley, Vinyl Siding Institute, President
Here in Lanett, Alabama at the Millard Fuller Legacy Build VSI’s Certified Trainers and I are getting the job done because we’ve got the BEST volunteers around us! And it’s the same as other blitz builds and it’s different too.
What’s the Same:
I feel privileged to be here for Millard and Linda and fulfilling their vision. Linda, Faith, and everyone are doing a great job --- as are the rest of the Fuller Center staff and everyone on the site. Once more, I have memories to take home and the excitement is already building for the next blitz.

What’s the Same:
- Millard Fuller’s vision
- A fantastic, emotional ceremony to start us off
- Confusion that leads to intense purpose and teamwork
- The feeling of being loved and needed
- The regulars: Bob, Mimi and son Bob, Merle and Susie Graber, LeRoy Troyer, Mark Butler, Willie, and lots more
- Too many know-it-alls who don’t, but they are teachable
- Struggling to eat healthy
- Mud
- Beautiful exhaustion at the end of the day
- No Millard (and I emotionally restrain myself here)
- New faces, from 26 states
- More families in need than ever before
