139 Days and counting...
We got more info over the last couple of days: some details on the route, the highways we'll be taking (LOTS of good curvy stuff), and some hotel info. But the real kickers are two special events: A visit to Wright-Patterson AFB and the Air Force museum, and a very special honor - participating in a wreath laying ceremony at the Flight 93 Memorial near Shanksville, PA. No doubt that this will be a trip no one will forget.

146 Days and counting!
I should have posted this sooner, but on February 15 we were asked to come to the Ness City ALR meeting and show our slide show again. Thanks to Loren and Lynette Stenzel and all the members for their hospitality.
Legacy Run Info: In the last few weeks we've gotten some details about the run, the general route and the dates. We also got our registration forms a couple of weeks ago, and sent them back already, of course. I must admit I was proud to mark "No" for the "First time participant" question!
Here's part of the press release from the ALLR Committee:
For the first time, the ALLR will move east from Indianapolis towards the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Final route planning is underway with cage runs conducted over the next several weeks. However, initial plans are to traverse the states of Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia on a 1,000-mile loop returning to the start point of Indianapolis, Indiana. After a day of rest and meetings at the home city of The American Legion’s national headquarters, the participants will mount up again on Sunday, August 23 for the final leg from Indianapolis, Indiana to Louisville, Kentucky, to lead off the 91st annual national convention parade. Registration will open by March 15, 2009 at www.legion.org.
Let's go! We're ready!
