It was HOT.  The Autism group were so nice, and the kids were fun. Oaks Park was a fun place.  We had plenty of WATER, and shade.  You guys really show what trooping is all about trooping in this weather.    Phil took a bunch of pictures which I will post in gallery Album.   Everyone was great. nice visiting with folks. and a Friend of mine from Over 30 years ago stopped by. WOW.

Lisa, one of the co-ordinators just called me to express how thankful she and the Autism Group are, so I told her I'd pass it on here.

They were flabbergasted by the number of characters that came and said she knew it was going to be very hot, yet you guys suited up anyway!

One of the TK's tried to get her son's attention but he wouldn't make eye contact despite loving it, so s/he (TK) kept following until s/he got a handshake! That's the way to do it.

You guys made the kids and parents feel great.

I sort of had a personal stake with this group and thank you personally for coming through and trooping this event. Even though they are not able to make a donation, they are very appreciative.

Barry


Yep, excellent pics and articles!
