Open Doors to Future Possibilities provides message of hope on Memorial Day
Put another feather in the cap for Los Gatos High School. Tommy Troy, a 2020 LGHS graduate, stroked two doubles in his Major League Debut in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ 9-1 win over the Colorado Rockies at Chase Field on May 24. The 5-foot-9, 197-pound Troy started in left field, a position he had never played professionally prior to this season.

Under sunny skies and with a breezy afternoon that hints of summer, Memorial Day was commemorated May 25, at the Los Gatos Civic Center lawn in front of the Flame of Liberty sculpture. Folks began arriving around 11am. Chairs were set up inside a large tent on the grass. The Nick Williams Trio played softly in the background, today veterans were honored and there was “remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.” Food was available for veterans with a Mexican food truck and a shaved ice truck in the library parking lot behind the Flame of Liberty. Along Main Street, an Open Doors to Future Possibilities, Inc. table was set up where veterans could check in. The founder of ODFP, Simone Lundquist, who holds a doctorate in psychology, would be arriving soon. I then caught up with Catherine Hastings, assistant executive director of ODFP. The headquarters of ODFP is located at 1550 The Alameda, Suite 150, San Jose. It’s a non-profit that offers affordable counseling and holistic support, primarily for veterans and first responders. ➝ Memorial Day, 4
