Letter of Hope 2007

Good friends are for keeps.

Old friends and New Ones ~~~ I got a nice email from Ernie Hase who’s an old friend that has watched me go through life for the past 25 years and his remark was that he’s proud of me. Though it’s not coming from Dad it means just as much. …

Schools on board

Hope that all students will come on board with their hope! Congresswomen Betty McCullom has been contacted by NASA and they found her excited about giving the students in Minnesota an opportunity to put their hopes on paper and into space. She’s also indicated that an attempt to contact the …

Going back

I’ve reached the hearts far away. I’m taking this time to start giving those with hope, the opportunity of walking with me through the coming months.

learning the ins and outs of blogging on the website!

This is a great adventure—just trying out the blogging aspect of our”new” website. I look forward to keeping all updated as we progress on our journey!!

Working up to the big day

The ride does not start until May 28, 2007, which seems like forever or a minute away, depending on what I am doing. There are tons of things to get done. I will begin writing in earnest when the ride starts. I hope you all write a letter, contribute and …

Ride with me

I’m writing in black on white because that’s just what I’m hoping that many will see with the problem. It’s hunger in “America”! I’ve approached the local food banks here in Minnesota but both met me with “it’s a project too big for us to handle”! I was directed to “Feeding America” in Chicago but my intention was either lost or disgarded. So I’ve toned down my desire to put it within the reach of my home town and state of Minnesota. I’ll come back after presenting myself once again to Secone Harvest the oraganization responsible for feeding “Minnesota”!

We will use this blog to record our thoughts along the way; people we meet, preparations for the ride, and so much more!
After the ride begins, check back daily to read about our progress across this great country. We’ll meet lots of new friends, see lots of beautiful landscape and share our hope! Gary and Joan
