Al & Steve -
Nice epilogue on CFS 2007. Good photo of Janathan & Erika on your
tandem for the 3-day event. Thanks for such a great contribution to a
worthwhile event.

> o        Friends of Braille Institute for the great end-party and all
> your hard work.        You’re the best!
> o        Dave White for referring Erika, providing the tandem, and
> general support.        Ride on Big D!

> In closing, the real joy of CFS is best evident on the faces of the

>  Whether it was Erika who did all 3 days, or the kids who joined us at

> a wonderful feeling. 
>  
> Thank you for making Cycling for Sight 2007 our best ride ever.   It
> was a great event because of your camaraderie and contributions.  The
> $ raised will make
> a real difference in the lives of youth at Braille Institute.   Thank
> you, thank you, thank you!   Hope we’ll be back together next year!
