Eagle Scout project transforms house

Peter and Joan Conroy enjoy the refurbished outdoor screen house at the House of the Good Shepherd Continuing Care Retirement Community in Hackettstown, with Boy Scout Alex Tarvydas, a member of Troop 91 in Stanhope, whose hard work made the project a reality. A senior at Hopatcong High School, Alex did the refurbishing as an Eagle Scout project. Using a donation of $1,000 from the the House auxiliary for supplies, he started the project in July and with the help of troop members and family (including his mom and dad, and brother, fellow scout 15-year old Evyn), finished it in early September.
