9/11, Never Forget
The image above was posted last year. I found this outside of my son’s school in Twinsburg, Ohio. I headed back over there yesterday and it was not on display again. While driving around town I noticed that almost all of the signs on Ravenna Road had tributes to 9/11 and snapped the photo you see below.

Over the weekend I acted as the Safety Coordinator for the MS BIKE RIDE Pedal to the Point which is a fund raiser for the Ohio Buckeye Chapter of the National MS Society. This is my 20th year in a row volunteering for the fundraiser. This year we had over 2500 bikes on the route. I believe that this is the largest number of riders in the 25 year history of the event. The bike ride has been described as:
The Bike MS Pedal to the Point is a unique cycling adventure organized by the Ohio Buckeye Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society that challenges riders of all ages, level and abilities while also raising money to end the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis. To make the bike tour a success, we need your help. So, come be a part of the largest organized cycling event in the United States!
The Ride goes from Berea to Sandusky on Day One and the reverse on Day Two. This is 75 miles each way plus there is also an option to add an additional 25 miles on Day One. The route is on rural roads and some state highways. Plus there are Rest Stops and a Lunch Stop on the Route.

Today the boys and I went to the Professional Car Society International Meet which was held at the Clarion Hotel in Hudson (Ohio). This is the annual meetup of the members of the Professional Car Society. they get together and show off their cars and have a great week.
A Professional Car is a custom bodied vehicle used in Funeral, Rescue or Livery Services. Such as a Hearse, Hearse-Ambulance, Ambulance, Limo. They are normally custom built limited run vehicles. For more info see the ProCar History Section of the Professional Car Society Website.
We saw a lot of cool vehicles, even one that had “CREEPY” on it’s License Plate.
Check out the photos in my Professional Car Society International Meet (2011-07-16) Photo Gallery. There is a teaser below of the Mall City Ambulance.
The Twinsburg Campus of the Cleveland Clinic held an Open House before they open to the public. The boys and I attended the Open House to see what it was all about. The facility is amazing, it is large, has multiple floors and a full server Emergency Room. As you can below the exterior of the building is glass and looks great.
The Cleveland Clinic Air Medical Helicopter was also in attendance. It was a major attraction. I was able to get some abstract photos of the helicopter. I was not able to get any full shots of the helicopter without people in the photo as I would have liked. Check out the several photos below.
Additional photos can be found in my Cleveland Clinic – Twinsburg Campus Open House Photo Gallery.

Brecksville Home Days Parade (2011-06-25)
Today the boys and I went to the Brecksville Home Days Parade. This is the 200th anniversary of the founding of Brecksville, so it was a grand event. The Budweiser Clydesdales marched in the Parade and was arranged for by the House of La Rose. They were the last “unit” in the parade and everyone was very happy to see them.
I have posted my photos in my Brecksville Home Days Parade Photo Album.
Ron Skinner was also there and posted his photos in his Photo Gallery.
