This is Glenda – apparently also known as “G” – Ken is resting after I threatened to divorce him if he didn’t take some time to rest. He promised me that if we got out of Greensboro he would rest. He drove 26 miles to the VFW in Reidsville and called it a day. He ate very little of the food they had for us, and even let me do all the talking (you know he is sick now).
So before we left the hotel this morning, we had breakfast with our friends from Florida. They got in late last night and spent the night here. I think this was the best medicine for his spirits, since then he is pumped up and ready to go again…but not until after he gets a little more rest…my orders.
The VFW invited us to be their guests for lunch and to speak to them about ALS. They were very nice and many of them had seen us on TV the night before. By the end of the event they collected $236.00 for the Tour. Ken was in tears…he wanted me to tell everybody that he didn’t come for money, but he appreciated their generosity. Then he took a nap.
We went to dinner at the “Golden Corral” where the manager gave Ken his dinner for free and came out to the table to speak with him. It was the best Golden Corral I have ever eaten at…Ken even agreed, for him to say that it must have been good. During dinner a man and his wife came over because they recognized us from the news and wanted to give a donation.
