Great job so far everyone.
The program really looks to be running smooth! Thanks so much!!As your distances increase and you need water stops other than the Fairgrounds and the park, please let Duane know (oldman@mwii.net) so that he and Leah can makes arrangements for set-up.
Due to the flag lowering ceremony at the tomb and the congestion that it causes, we're not going into the cemetery until the night when we do our practice run. Linda and I will have copies of the "old Abe's Amble" route that we'll share with you so that you can get your miles in without entering the cemetery.
Sergeants in the Privates group - if you feel you must change groups, PLEASE, PLEASE, let me know before you change. We must have a minimum of two Sergeants per group, preferably three. Please remember that the Tuesday night runs aren't training runs for you - they're training runs for the Privates and Corporals. Please be patient with your folks.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the leaders of Purple one: Susan Helm, Maria Ansley, Melanie Reynolds, and Christi Branham. They had the first ten people to finish on the first night and after their initial training run, the leaders decided to promote the group to Corporals. Those leaders then took over the "sticks" who were the folks that came in last. They went from the fastest group to the slowest group. Thanks, ladies. That's the kind of understanding and cooperation the Abe's Army needs.
Keep up the good work - Jan

Thanks for the thanks, the Sticks needed us and we needed them, they are doing awesome and we look forward to seeing them all cross the finish line like we did for the first time! We have some that should be promoted but they want to be STICKS!! GO STICKS!!
