Savannah Bicycle Campaign

An organization called SAVANNAH BICYCLE CAMPAIGN was formed several months ago under the leadership of a bright young man named Dr. Drew Wade, MD. He has brought together bicycle shops, clubs, racing groups and others to help bring safer cycling and better education of bicycling to Savannah, GA. One of the things started was a monthly ride open to all cyclist and called Savannah Wheelie. The first Wheelie brought out the Mayor, the Chairman of the Chatham County Commissioners, the City Manager and several other Aldermen and commissioners. Along with those dignitaries were over 200 people who rode with us with a police escort through the downtown City of Historic Savannah. The picture above is me on the left making a point with Mayor Johnson. We found out the city is very willing to begin talks to improve bicycling in Savannah! More later!

After the wedding, time at Montauk, NY to rest

While we stayed with Dr. Anita Bellman in Huntington who was a most gracious host, after a day with Holly's family, we departed for Montauk, NY. Found a nice motel with a beach view and decided to go off shore (party boat) fishing from Montauk harbor on the Ebb Tide. Holly caught a keeper (had to be 20" long), plus a sting ray, I caught two small non-keeper Flukes and three stingrays. It was a beautiful day, slight swells and no motion sickness as we took Dramamine (that's another story!).

Should add the day after the wedding, took a trip to Marshall Fileds Mansion (now a state park) of 1500 acres and hiked to the mansion and back to the parking lot, about 2 miles I think, based on my aching feet!. Here is a video I made of this family, but missing Doug Hanafin who had taken a walk to the comfort station.

Sorry folks! The video will not load into my blog, blogger keeps telling me an error in uploading!

Ellie and Joe's Wedding, June 22, 2008

Ellie is my girl friends daughter who married Joe Kellersohn in Bayville, Long Island, NY at Wall's Wharf on the beach. Attended by about 70 people under a tent on a beautiful day with moderate tempertures, sunny skies and a magnificant view of Long Island Sound on the North Shore at Bayville. Every thing worked like clockwork, the flower girls tosssing rose pedals, the little boy ringbearer, the two bridesmaids and two groomsmen! Even the minister from the Grooms step Mom's Congregational Church did a masterful job in wedding these two very fine young people!
