We really looked forward to returning to Portland, Maine ... And no, not just for the lobster rolls -- Though we did make sure to get one to share, before we left, courtesy of the PFD firefighters. Thank you, by the way ... It was as good as we remember!
Rico and all the heroes at our Portland stop made us feel very welcome.
We went, once more, to the fire boat for our photo op. And they came out to make it special. We are waiting to hear about the new "lil Rico" baby news. And in advance of that info, we want to say congrats!
There was a very nice moment when Rico was presented a gift from one of our Core Team members. Larry Kaibetoney is one of the survivors of the Mosul Dining Hall bombing. He is a great guy, and e are very happy to still have him with us!
Anyway, Larry sent out one of Jeff Grier's signed prints of his artwork, "I'll take it from here." Larry wanted Rico to have it after hearing how much help Rico gave us with tour contacts this year.
He felt it was only right for this to go both ways, so this time to honor was presented from military hero to firefighter hero.
Hope you enjoy the photos ...
lj & the road crew
