Craig has served on the Two Echo Commons Committee for many years and has organized several Two Echo Olympics. He also maintains a community wood-fired sauna.

Joe and Deb – There once was a couple from Mass,
Who moved to cohousing at last.
He works on peace while she is a nurse,
They agree that this verse could hardly be worse.
For fun he sails and with fiber she plays,
Of children and grandchildren many they’ve raised.
The small ones here are also quite dear,
As long their bikes don’t run into our ____.
