I am not a frequent poster, but I am an ardent reader of this Forum. Having gotten to know quite a few of you personally, I think of you all as family. So, I want to extend heartfelt and deepest thanks to all in the Power Wagon community for your support of me and my wife, Karen. Most of you know that after 15 years as an amputee, clean of cancer, her disease has returned to create havoc in our lives.
In October, when we attended the West Virginia rally, we got a big surprise there. A special fund raiser was held for Karen. Special thanks for that goes out to Dave H, Tim H and Rob B and the entire WV rally!
Then on November 24, here in our home town, family and friends held Cruisin for Karen, a benefit on our behalf. Imagine our surprise when again, our Power Wagon friends came to our support. Chris Wetherell organized a mini rally of sorts to attend the event. Trucks from four states were represented, and included the following:
Chris & Missy W KY
Mark & Leondia W KY
Joel & Melissa F PA
Brian & Karen P IL
CC Sammy & David A IN
Ed B VA
JB & fam. IN
Steve - IN
I cant tell you what a difference your support means to me, especially because it helps me worry less about finances, and gives me the ability to spend more precious time with my wife, as we know our time together may be short.
Joe C: continual gratitude to you, for The Forum. Its a place that brings us together in this brotherhood of trucks that we all love so much!
On the project side, I have been able to spend a few hours with my truck. Working on it definitely gives me a place to let go. Were going back together slowly but surely. Hopefully, this is the year!
