good luck with your auction. Your Dad is understandably so proud of you. I did not know him before his stroke or my own but have heard only highly complimentary things of him from people who did. I do know that if there were a poster child for brain injury survivors Dr Ted King would be chosen without question. A brilliant, vibrant man yes he went through the sadness & anger at being dealt such a hand after he had done everything right…but he evolved past that and created a bar that other stroke survivors could strive to reach. I know that he has been an inspitation to me. As his son I hope that you know how important the continued love & support of children so loved & such a remarkable & loved wife is. I feel blessed by having been allowed to know him.

Happy to see that auction getting so many bids. Too rich for me, but I am putting the Krempel’s King Challenge on my calender. I will be riding in memory of my uncle, James P. Burke, who lost his battle with brain cancer in February at the age of 52.

See you in t-minus 4.5 months Becky. (I know a pair of cool guys who can sign your stuff there on October 20. Probably some more cool ones will show up too.)

The latest bid is already too rich for my blood. But I’ve already raised that much for the Krempels King of the Road Challenge. I’m really looking forward to it!

Most excellent. I was at the ATOC for the TT in Bakersfield and must say that the Liquigas squad was by far the coolest one out there. Not only did they get the best parking spot for their “bus” (in the shade so that the fans weren’t suffering), but they had the NBCSports team filming them with Mr. Bobke Roll in attendance. Oh yeah, and they spent the most time outside hangin’ out with their peeps. Bonus points as the team mechanics and others were cracking jokes and hamming it up in Italiano. Fun times. And then Ted went out and caught 1 (or was it 2?) of the guys that started the TT in front of him. Nice.
