DID YOU REMEMBER?! WE HAD A MEMORY WALK TODAY AT COOLIDGE PARK!! Here's a trip down memory lane . . .
(Left to right) Brian Hale, Robin Hale, Ethel Benjamin, Patrice Williams, and Sandra Williams staffed a booth for Life Care of Missionary Ridge. I thoroughly enjoyed the sausage and biscuit they cooked up for us today.
My family, friends and I joined hundreds of others to walk in an event that the local Alzheimer's Association had planned and sponsored. What a wonderful group of people!
It was beautiful to see the color detail handled by the Brainerd High School ROTC. These young people performed in a superb manner.
UTC's Sigma Kappa sorority ladies took the stage to dance for us. This sorority puts its philanthropic efforts into the areas of Gerontology and Alzheimer's.
First Lutheran Church had one of the largest showings for the walk. The church's maroon shirts were everywhere. Thank you, First Lutheran!
Some participants were elderly and in wheelchairs, expressing enthusiasm. All of these people joined us when we walked, their caregivers pushing their wheelchairs.

I was at Stone Cup and saw the procession pass. I didn't know what to make of it. All I could see was a bunch of teenagers hootin' and a hollerin' -- the little whippersnappers!
Could someone tell me what exactly a memory walk is? And speaking of First Lutheran, I've heard that building was designed by Eero Saarinen. Anybody know if this is true?

I was among those hootin' and hollerin'. Did you see the TACA show too? Quite good.
About the Lutheran church on McCallie, I don't know who designed it. Could be Saarinen.
Your morning brew certainly was exciting.
