He was drawn in November of 2003. His drawing is counting five people.0:28Two years have passed since we drew on this street.0:31We are more familiar than ever with the biographies, names, and faces of the people we are drawing.0:37All the images I have seen of Jeffrey Coombs have stayed vividly on my mind.0:42His photos capture a beaming kindness with conversational eyes and a genuine smile.0:48He is one of those people who we have learned about that I instinctively want to spend time with.0:53I keep this in mind as I spend a couple of minutes with him on the streets of New York.1:01Jeffrey never had much idle time, his sister Lauren said.1:04He used every minute.1:05As soon as he got back from the Anaheim trip,1:07he was scheduled to go on a 10-day rim-to-rim hike through the Grand Canyon.1:12Another advantage of working at home was the luxury of having time1:14to build a deck on his house in Abington, a Boston suburb.1:18Except for the railing and stairs, it was done by the time he left for Anaheim.1:22Neighbors completed it just before Christmas.← Location 169Heart Two · Location 170Location 171 →
