POTSDAM — The widow of a late well-known business owner recently donated $5,000 worth of brand new auto parts to the BOCES Automotive classes for direct instruction. Paula Martin, widow of Leon Martin and owner of Martin’s Garage for over 50 years, donated more than 50 brand-new starters in the boxes. BOCES teachers and students were thrilled they could conduct labs with an entire class and tear the starter apart from start to finish, Mrs. Martin said. Leon Martin participated with the BOCES programs for years. “He worked with students that required job coaching services, he hired a few of the students after they graduated from the program,” Belinda Martin said. She is the daughter of Paula and Leon.
