Richard was an engineer and worked for Proctor and Gamble for 37 years before he retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philanthropy has always come naturally for the couple. Margaret noted that the first computer Huntsville Library had was donated by her husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said she heard about the need for washrooms at River Mill Park and she approached the municipality and the conversation began. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Huntsville means a lot to me, I lived here for a long time and the idea of me seeing something that I&#8217;m giving money for in a large amount makes me happy. Instead of donating it in my will, I will see it.&#8221; She said she wished more people would donate to their community if they are able to and lamented that people seem to be concerned only for themselves these days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said she looks forward to seeing the final result. She said she&#8217;s glad the washrooms are being made in such a way that makes them harder to vandalize. The washrooms are being welcomed by thankful community members as a great addition to the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n\n\n\n<p>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There has been much speculation surrounding the mystery donor who has provided the Town of Huntsville with a generous $300,000 donation in order to build a washroom facility at River [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":132565,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-132509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
