A Special Patriot

On his ride in Florida, Duane met this woman, a 93 year old WWII veteran, who was a motorcycle courier. She earned a PhD after the war and taught at FSU and FAMU until retirement. She has more than 900,000 certified miles on BMW motorcyles. She has a side car on her bike and look who who rides in it!

Patriot Guards Ride

Duane (on the left, above) from Georgia took a special ride on his bike this week. The rider next to him is his Sunday school friend, Tommy Brinkley. Hear about the trip from Duane:

"That was a fantastic ride from Marianna, Florida to Apalachicola, Florida. We rode through Altha, Blountstown, Wewahitchka, and Port St Joe. In each of these towns, schools had let students out, and they were on the sidewalks, as were business people, and people just wanting to see. They all had signs with praise to veterans. In Port St Joe, we rode by a nursing home and the residents were out on benches, in wheel chairs and some standing and waving as we rode by. Many people along the way were flying flags. Many had large pictures of soldiers who had served, and some had pictures of KIA and MIA soldiers. All that was a total surprise to all of us who rode. I let a few, well, lots of tears flow as we rode by."

Game Dinner

The Pine Level Baptist Church recently held a game dinner. These are fun events where men invite their friends, cook and put on a big feed with dove, venison, etc. Duane, a Mornings listener and a deacon at the Georgia church, took these photos.

The speaker for the event was Kyle Woodfin. If you'd like to hold a he-man event like this, check out Kyle's website here.
