Thank You Newport!

It’s been a while since I last entered a new blog and equally, it’s been a while since I’ve had a moment to sit.  The trip continues to generate huge attention which is great, but that attention comes with details and minutia, the attention need for such is quickly dwindling.  The out poring of the community support is staggering, totally unexpected and incredibly appreciated, THANK YOU NEWPORT!!!  I’m a bit neglect in mentioning the latest and possibly some of the best news of the trip to date; my stepson Chauncey Tanton has flown himself out from Denver to join in the efforts, very, very cool!  Because of “life” Chaunce and I haven’t had a chance to spend too much time together in the past 15 years and re-connecting with this great guy has really been a very, very wonderful and healing process for me!  A days after, Sefton, my son, flew out from Denver as well.  He arrival too has been a wonderful addition to the rest of the crew!  Wasn’t it yesterday these kids were just that, kids?  Now, for the first time in over 15 years the whole extended family is aboard and working side by side.  Very happy to report that nary a grumble is heard and many are the nights that these guys, Clinton, Dominique, Chaunce & Sefton work well past 11:00 p.m. amid gales of laughter!!  Thank you life!!!
