Season 1 Episode 8 | 4m 39s

A native of Rhode Island, Jack Welch has called the Ocean State his home for 82 years. The former teacher and principal is now a Meals on Wheels volunteer, a tour guide with the Providence Preservation Society and an avid cyclist. Jack believes that the people you spend your life with have the greatest potential to inspire you - a creed he embodies with his own life-affirming, cheerful service.
