To the Editor:
The Walk for Wounded Warriors last Sunday was a complete success. The organizers, Patrick Venetz and Sam Phaneuf did a great job of planning and execution. As one of the slower walkers (my wife calls me the tail gunner) I was a little concerned about finishing the thirteen miles.
Sam and Patrick were great. Patrick must have checked on me a dozen times. The finish at Van Auken’s was welcoming and well managed and the walk volunteers were outstanding. The route had at least five water stops with water and fresh fruit.
Wow, last year these guys were in high school. Don’t worry about the future generation, just listen to them. Thank you! It was a privilege to take part.
