Mural Installation at G. Winston Dobbins Park

I woke up this morning feeling nervous and at the same time excited. I went out to my car and was about to get in when I dropped my phone. At the same moment I was told I had a phone call in the house. I went in and it was a friend from Syracuse telling me he was 10 minutes away. The excitement was raised to another level, so I ran out jumped in the care and started to pull out. The next sound I heard was my tire running over my phone. Granted, this was a $400.00 phone that my company gave me, but what a boneheaded move. My excitement was temporarily taken over by anger, but excitement was too powerful. New phone will arrive Tuesday, nuff said.
Having this Saturday come to an end was sad for me. We worked so hard over the past few months for this day. Having the mural put up brought tears to my eyes as I thought of Dad handing Mark a brochure on murals. I then saw Dad's postcard raised onto the abutment and wishing he was here to see it. So as I sit here now I think of all the people who had a hand in this. James, Mark, Seth, Jessica, Colleen, Helen, Sidney, Hailey, Corky, Charlie, Ann, Stuart and many others who did their part in making this a top 10 day in my life. Thank you, Thank you all for your participation, I know Dad would be gleaming.
This is only the beginning !
