The day before Irene, Blythe had just finished moving back to her hometown of Rochester along with Graham. Graham being a new resident, recounted that "It was good to be here and help out. I found out was a great town it was right away." Blythe quickly chimed in "We love this town." Hundreds of people from many neighboring communities gathered in Rochester to celebrate community volunteerism on the five year anniversary of Hurricane Irene. (Herald/Seth Butler)
