Relay for LIFE
Friends and family, its been 10 weeks today since Kent's collapse at the Capitol. My children and I are amazed at how his legacy continues, he will not be forgotten. To update you on our plans--we will be leaving June 4 for Colorado where we will scatter his ashes over his favorite Colorado spot--Blue Lake. Also, Bear Lake in Rocky MT. National Park, the top of Trailridge Road, and the Arkansas River in Buena Vista where Rebecca works as a whitewater raft guide for the summer. Many of you have asked about her company--Wilderness Aware--they have a great website and you can call them at 1-800-IN-A-RAFT. If you are heading out there give them a call and ask for Rebecca as your guide, you will have a rip-roaring time! She hardly ever has swimmers (guests overboard) and her jokes and stories are great--she got some of them from her dad ! WE look forward to the reunion with her in just a few weeks. WE will return on June 10 in time for the Indianola Relay for LIfe event on June 11 dedicated to Kent's memory this year. There will be an opening ceremony at noon on the town square, so I would like to invite any and all of you to join us for a lap around the square in memory of Kent. The relay continues until midnight, so you can join at anytime. The luminaries will be lit at 10 p.m. in memory of those that died this year, and in honor of those who survived cancer for another year. It is a beautiful experience and one that Kent enjoyed every year since his cancer diagnosis. He served on the central committee since coming to Indianola--handling the finances. There is hope for a cure for every kind of cancer and these relays are helping provide funds and awareness of this effort. Hope you can join us at NOON on June 11.
