Gillette isn't alone in his efforts to help Cambridge tourists. The information center--open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., seven days a week--is staffed by a group of about 10 volunteers.
"I don't think you could find a more diverse group," says Gillette, referring to his fellow volunteers. "When we have occasion to get together, it always intrigues me that we are all doing the same thing. We all want to help people."
Gillette says he sees himself working in the Square for as long as he is needed.
"It's a service to the community. Sometimes you get someone who's really lost or who really needs your help," Gillette says. "You help them, and it makes you feel good. It's a better feeling than telling someone where the post office is."
"Volunteering here is something you can really put your arm around and at the same time get a kick out of what you're doing," Gillette says.
