Malden resident Frank Mahoney knows about teaching.  This ninety-one year old taught mathematics in the Chelsea school system for 40 years, and he also coached football and softball.  Teaching is a family profession for the Mahoneys, beginning with his father, who used to say, "Priests touch the soul, doctors touch the heart, but teachers touch the mind."  Both Frank and his brother, John, followed their dad into this noble profession. Not to break from tradition, Frank's three sons and one of his grandsons are also... teachers. Simply amazing.

Frank still drives a car most of the time, but getting to the doctor's office is just too aggravating. The traffic. The parking. "And it seems like they make more money in the parking garage than in the actual doctor's office," Frank laughs. It didn't take a PhD to figure out the solution: Door2Door.  "I've recommended you highly to others," he says.  "Very accommodating.  Courteous.  Clean vans.  Prompt.  It's a marvelous thing!" Frank may be retired from the classroom, but we're pleased that he takes the time to educate others about our service.

Thank you, Frank Mahoney!

Joe joined the SCM team less than six months ago, but already it's hard to imagine doing business without him.  A jack-of-all-trades, Joe has flourished as a driver, a champion of customer service, and as our new Special Projects Coordinator.  He has been well-accepted by the rest of the team, as evidenced by this award, given by a committee of his peers.

Joe has been running the Rider's Advisory Committee and the Customer Service Task Force, both designed to help SCM reach its full potential.  He always has a nice thing to say and is up for anything, helping out wherever he's needed.  We're glad to have him, and we hope he stays for a long time.
