Photos by Gretel Daugherty—Peggy Gordon takes 12-ring sets of canning jar seals from the work station of Shawn Weaver, left, so she can verify his count for boxes of Tattler canning lids and rings. Gordon has been nominated for state recognition of her work as a vocational direct-support professional for people with disabilities who are employed by companies through Mesa Developmental Services.
