With about 50 close friends, fellow boaters, and family – the farewell party was a great success. It was a very humbling event for Jonell & I to experience the true love we felt yesterday. Special thanks to Gate man Dan, Bagel Brenda, Bartender Eric, Car Porter Kenny, photographers Diane, Brenda, and Joe. Special thanks for the great gifts from the Nofferts, Durrants, Spraggs, Shellers, Aunt Betty/Unc Wayne, Jerry/Deena Luck, Shannon/Scott Knight, Eric/Laura, and the Wheelers. Special thanks to all the FCA folks who surprised me with their visit yesterday.
Stay tuned for next update from the day 1 ride all the way up to Algonac Harbor Club.
No Photo – Lynn & Andy Hulway 🤔. Thx a bunch for surprising us, see you at Brownies in a year.
