From Boston
to Boston
Jim Ansara is a builder from Boston, in the best sense. And so is his wife Karen Keating Ansara.

Here's a link to a New England Cable Network interview about the Ansaras and their efforts, from hands-on work getting the power restored at the general hospital in Haiti to their million-dollar donation to help in the recovery and reconstruction following the horrendous Jan. 12 earthquake.
