This morning we heard the very sad news that the son of our dear friends, Nancy and Bill Hamaker, lost his courageous battle with cancer. Tedd was a very upbeat, positive person who, in a way, inspired us to take on our challenge. Tedd and a few college buddies crossed the US on bicycles over 20 years ago. His tales of their adventures inspired us to follow in his path. Along the way we hope to mirror Ted's positive attitude and adventurous spirit.
This tribute means so much to our family. His bicycle adventure was one of many achievements that we will talk about again and again. Mother bought him a bicycle helmet, rather rare in those days, which he promised to wear and was careful to always have it on when pictures were taken....but now and then it was seen strapped to his pack with a bungee cord!! We laughed about that (after he was home safe and sound.)
