Once at the race sight, we were directed to parking IMG_1073 and Ben IMG_1074 displayed his hat and me my shirt IMG_1075 as Ben IMG_1076 led us IMG_1077 to the T shirt exchange IMG_1078 IMG_1079 where we saw Mike and Shristie IMG_1080 who posed with Suzanne IMG_1081 and Sara IMG_1082 and the rest of the gang IMG_1083 after which we ran into Adam, Nate and Will IMG_1084 and this woman IMG_1085 who foolishly asked what we expected to get from the line where we were standing. In the next line, Suzanne got her survivors shirt IMG_1086 and these pictures of me and Suzanne IMG_1087 IMG_1088 and then the 4 of us IMG_1089 IMG_1090 were taken by Sara IMG_1091 who took a few more IMG_1092 IMG_1093 just to be sure. In the next line IMG_1094 we saw Glen Northey IMG_1095 and then ran into Nancy Lewis and her team IMG_1096 as we all tried on bandanas IMG_1097 IMG_1098 IMG_1099 to the amusement of OtherJane IMG_1100 who seems to believe that a house should have less rather than more -- a concept that is very foreign to the rest of us.

After my self portrait IMG_1101 we explained the rules of the lines to this woman IMG_1102 while Sarah IMG_1103 IMG_1104 did her commercials and the Szabo's IMG_1105 IMG_1106 arrived. On the way into this tent IMG_1107 we put signs of support on our backs IMG_1108 IMG_1109 as Leslie appeared IMG_1110 and took our pictures. The Ash women IMG_1111 IMG_1112 were there for the next signs on back IMG_1113 IMG_1114 IMG_1115 as we went into the tent IMG_1116 for more samples. The Hot Dog Johnny's team was there IMG_1117 as we ran into the Princeton women IMG_1118 IMG_1119 and Josephine's family IMG_1120 IMG_1121 and the Rider crew IMG_1122 who would be part of our team along with Hannah and Cara IMG_1123 and the Sheas IMG_1124 IMG_1125 so we knew it was time to gather the team IMG_1126 IMG_1127 IMG_1128 IMG_1129 IMG_1130 IMG_1131 for many team pictures as the traffic director IMG_1132 tried to organize us for the Klockenbrinks IMG_1133 IMG_1134 IMG_1135 and Jans IMG_1136 who arrived in time to see the sign march onward IMG_1137 but not before Sheryl Feinstein IMG_1138 arrived. After the photographer IMG_1139 IMG_1140 took his group picture, I captured Meredith and Ken IMG_1141 Cara and Hannah IMG_1142 IMG_1143 and the sign held high (but next year it needs to be two-sided) IMG_1144 and then the Sheas IMG_1145 admired the sign IMG_1146 as Jane and friends IMG_1147 and Judith and Carol IMG_1148 got us going in the walk even as Lenny and Judy IMG_1149 arrived. We marched IMG_1150 IMG_1151 to the finish line and then headed home to the world's longest hoagies IMG_1152 IMG_1153 as the poker crowd IMG_1154 admired the other food IMG_1155 IMG_1156 and beer IMG_1157 and the kitchen crew IMG_1158 prepared as the boys IMG_1159 IMG_1160 IMG_1161 thought about a game of chess IMG_1162 and the mothers and sisters IMG_1163 arrived as Jane and her team IMG_1164 wondered if we could get a good picture of Steven Just IMG_1165 IMG_1166 IMG_1167 IMG_1168 while the brownies IMG_1169 apples IMG_1170 donuts IMG_1171 and candy IMG_1172 were served to the amusement of Tony Klockenbrink IMG_1173 and his daughters IMG_1174 IMG_1175 as Hank Farber IMG_1176 took this picture of me and the conversations continued IMG_1177 IMG_1178 IMG_1179 IMG_1180 IMG_1181 IMG_1182 IMG_1183 in various corners and the Mason IMG_1184 Dimaggio IMG_1185 IMG_1186 Masons IMG_1187 were there along with Kathy Klockenbrink IMG_1188 and Wei-King IMG_1189 but then Hank and Sue IMG_1190 and Hui-Ling IMG_1191 and the Szabos IMG_1192 and Jans IMG_1193 left leaving a smaller crowd IMG_1194 IMG_1195 to continue conversations which amused Jena IMG_1196 as the Browns IMG_1197 and Pete and Lisa IMG_1198 were the last of the Rider group to show their support to a wonderful cause.

Once again, a great day for Team Suzanne.
