As we come down the main street
Steve's wife caught a nice photo of me with Zach, and his little sister.
Jim with Rupert
Steve with Gabby on deck and Jeremy riding shotgun
I left about 10:15, and as I headed south out of Heath, and about 15-20 minutes from my home, I said ANOTHER little prayer about rain.... just let me get home just let me get home!!!
so.... made it home, buttoned up the garage, and about 11 o'clock the skies opened up! whew! made it!!
One of the most enjoyable and memorable moments during the parade was when various groups of parade watchers would stand up and clap as Zach rode by. Many stood and saluted, others just clapped, but every single person was respectful and positive. After one particularly large group stood and clapped, I looked up at him and said 'wow that was awesome, wasn't it?' he said, 'yes, it really was. This is cool.'
made me proud to be a part of his day. I told him several times I was honored to give him a ride. He was very gracious and thanked me several times, and every time I just said 'thank you!' right back at him.
20 years old. wow.
God Bless America!
