Departure
August 16th, 2008 by Bill ColleyWe hope to make a stop in Bridgeville for any last minute signers. Between six and seven Monday morning. I’ve a current rough count of 1,624. It was late as I counted.
Some thank yous are needed. Jack and Dan and Jared and MariLu. Especially our office manager Sandy. We wouldn’t be on the road without her. Or for that matter without the blessing of a very good man who once prowled Capitol Hill for a major TV network.
And Matt Shaffer. He kept his folks bike shop open late and worked with me on the bike, getting the rack, tires, axle and brakes up to speed. Biking has become such big business that all of the shops in the area are just about bare of two wheelers and accessories. Matt came up with what we needed late Saturday.
Walt Palmer and Denny Karol will follow in the van and should be entertaining company late in the days as we wind down. And these men are volunteers. God bless all of these people and all 1,624 of you who signed.
Bill
