Dawn Hall
PRESCOTT– Dawn Hall was just starting her day, at The Flippin’ Frog. When asked what she liked most about her job, she said “getting to know new people, and hearing everybody’s story. There are so many different characters that come in here. During the day time, there’s a bunch of older people. Some who are retired, some are vets. When you let them tell their stories, it makes them feel like they get to relive that time in their life and it makes them feel good…The world has changed so much for them, and I think that a lot of them are scared, and not as comfortable as they were at that time. I also like to hear how they ended up here.”
