Mr. Kraemer was an outstanding man! The last thing he said to my wife and i at granite city last year was "let nature run it's course" when she was way ready to deliver! Cru came shortly after that and Jack left us soon thereafter. Jack also gave me a room and some cold beer during my first time to the chili bowl in 2003! I can't wait for july 13, except i would rather start first and lead the whole thing!

I know I will be a Gas City on Friday and Kokomo on Sunday. Any one wishing to donate to this race can find me there. Saturday depends on work.

Next week at THAT. Sure miss talking to Jack.

heard they had $2,900 already raised for this, thats great

Every little bit helps. This could turn into a pretty big deal.
