Ray Malouin
        professional carpenter,  remodeler

"Ray's professionalism, personal integrity, warmth and sense of humor make the upheaval of a home-remodeling project enjoyable",  Walton writes
[in her nomination of Ray for the 'True Nutmeg Award']  "Here's a craftsman who works from discussions and sketches on the back of an envelope.  Who takes his workboots off when in the house, closes doors to prevent the spread of dust, and cleans up the mess at the end of the day.  And who finishes the job on time.  He has a great sense of humor and is friendly to all, especially the children",  Walton writes,  "We have frequently recommended him to friends, neighbors, and business associates, and have been gratified by the feedback and amused by how startled these people are to have had the pleasure of working with Ray."
