Special education kindergarten teacher Amy DelaBarre of Port Angeles gives an emotional hug to Betsy Schulz, founder of the Captain Joseph House Foundation in Port Angeles, after DelaBarre completes the bicycle portion of “Run for Joe,” a solo triathlon on Saturday to raise funds in support of Gold Star families who have lost loved ones in military action.
The Captain Joseph House, a former bed and breakfast, which was converted to give respite to military families, is named for Schultz’s son, Joseph Schultz, who was killed in action in Afghanistan on May 29, 2011.
