Looking Back

Not being the most tech savvy person on the planet... actually I'm  way behind your average 6 year old with a cel phone!  Any way some of these I cant get to work on the black background...  I don't know why.  At any rate another contributor to The Call... has shared some thoughts and feelings.  I'd like to introduce Bruce's wife, Mike and Mark's mother and Aunt to all of us:  Betty

I'm not much with writing words so hang in there I will try to put my thoughts down about the trip.  I'm so proud of you boys ( yes, you will always be boys).  Bruce would have been proud of you also.  I know that at the funeral you finally decided that this was the year.  I know that Bruce was with you all the way.  He and the others had hot weather and you 6 faced  horrible weather.  


   This time you kept everyone up on your plans by the blogs, we didn't get the e-mails but that is okay.  We here on land kept up with your journey each day by e-mails, pictures on texting It was fun to follow your trip.  When your Dads went, they got in the river in Warren and we met them in East Brady.  We knew nothing that they did or where they were.   This trip was so much more fun for us.  You have another generation planning their trip.


   The three boys were so excited to see you when we found you. They were really hoping to get into the canoes  that day, but it wasn't their time. When everyone was there to greet you in Parker, it was great.  What a joy to watch the canoes come down the river and pull into shore.  Then the picnic at the Buzzards was like old times. Thanks for doing the trip and remembering Bruce the way you did.  I love you one and all.
