Yesterday was a long ride. Not necessarily in miles, but time as he had to go through Ottawa to arrive at Russel Metals which is on the east side of Ottawa. It made for a long afternoon. When he arrived at Russel Metals he was greeted by a crowd of Russel Metal employees. Also waiting for dad was dad's brother's brother-in-law and wife (John and Chris). THANKS TO ALL FOR GREETING DAD!
Joe Verville, Unit Manager Russel Metals Ottawa had these butterflies made out of metal and painted just for dad's arrival. They were placed on either side of the entrance to Russel Metals for dad to see upon arrival. Russel Metals Ottawa employees raised $1000 for thyroid cancer on dad's behalf.
WOW - THANKS!
Today dad is heading to Montreal. Another long ride as he cannot cycle on the TransCanada. Approximately 190km today.
Remarkable... an inspiration to us all and such a positive attitude. Your wings are spread like a butterfly and your beauty is being seen all across Canada.

ReplyDeleteI am glad you made it to Montreal on Friday evening and got to see some of the friends you made while you were trucking to Montreal for 22 years. Love Faye, see you soon.
