Teenage Plumber Timothy Girouard Heads to Russia For WorldSkills Competition
Apprentice plumber Timothy Girouard, 19, will board a plane in late-August for a 14-hour flight that will take him 4,800 miles to Kazan, Russia.
He’s going to want to make himself as comfortable as possible in coach class because the day after he lands, Girouard, from Southampton, Massachusetts, will represent the United States in the plumbing and heating contest going up against some 75 other countries all vying for gold, silver and bronze in 56 different skills categories at the biennial WorldSkills competition, Aug. 22-27.
