Team Walkabout at Relay for Life

I would like to publicly thank everyone who helped and contributed to Team Walkabout's success in this year's Tehachapi Relay for Life. It was our first attempt as a team and we raised the fantastic amount of $5,500, which brought us in 4th or 5th among all 33 teams. Great job. The entire group raised over $74, 000 for The American Cancer Society. My special thanks goes to Cathy Criger for all the effort she put into selling tickets, making five quilts to raffling off, and making the really cool "cool collars". I would also like to thank my Aussie cobber, Vic Martin for loaning us his 5th wheel and tent, and helping us erect the E-Z Up and the tent. I'm not the best outdoorsman or camper. Of course, I would like to give a special thanks to Rhonda, my wonderful and talented wife who organized it all.
