Holly's Family



This picture was taken on Vail Mountain, Vail Colorado by Janet Beck, Holly's sister. Included in the picture are all (except one granddaughter) of Holly's children and grandchildren. The affair was David Page's and Breezy's wedding atop this mountain at 11,300 feet above sea level. Beautiful as beautiful can be. A very happy, loving and generous group of people you will ever meet!

Relatives I don't see often

From Left to right: Mike, Steve, Don (Dad) and Ken. Don (dad) is my brother in law. Lives in Amarillo, TX. Don married my wife sister after we all four finished Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, AL or a few year afterward. Don had a great career in the USAF, retiring as a Colonel., I believe. I had a career in industrial management and later in sales. My four children and Don's five children (his two girls are not pictured) played together on several occasions, but mostly when they lived next door to us in Pinopolis, SC while Don was in Vietnam. Lot's of good memories between our two families! It's good to see the boys and Don, we have all aged, but still happy. It is a pleasure to know that I have more hair on my head than all four of my relatives!

Harvest of Hope Ride, Oct 10, 2009

The picture above was taken after the ride around 6:00pm at Memorial Health in Savannah.. The video below was taken at the start in Augusta at about 7:10am These people were almost as fresh after the ride as before!




This video was taken under the portico of the Marriott in Augusta on the Savannah River just before the 70 guys and gals started to pedal from Augusta, GA to Savannah, GA, a distance of about 140 miles in one day!


Had one accident where one nice lady got tangled with another rider, went down and broke her arm. She was taken back to Augusta for surgery. Her husband abandoned the ride to go with her.


Those things happen from time to time on events like this and it's very regretful, but that's the risk of bicycle events.


Wish her a speedy recovery!

Harvest of Hope Bicycle Ride


Friday, October 9th, I will leave Savannah at 5:30pm, taking with me several people who can't catch the earlier bus to The Marriott in Augusta for the bicycle ride of about 70 bicyclist beginning at 7:00am Saturday, October 10th. As a driver of one of three support vehicles, I will remain behind the last riders as they pedal from Augusta to Savannah in one day, about 160 miles.

It's my pleasure to assist in this event to raise money for cancer since my wife passed away 6 years ago from lung cancer.


The picture is the riders from the event in 2008.
