The big old red clock stands proudly in front of the EarthClubFactory Guesthouse, where every resident and visitor can see it. As many of you know, the clock used to reside in front of Herman deVries’ house on East Road. Herman, an octogenarian and avid cyclist, died last year in a tragic accident. His family wished that the clock would find a new home where it could continue to be visible to all. Mission accomplished!
More recently, the new owners of Herman’s former residence wanted someone in the community to have Herman’s bike that had been left at the house, free of charge. In a poetic gesture, the bike has now been relocated and attached to Herman’s clock, where it stands as a reminder of Herman, the joy of cycling, and that our time here is a finite resource.
