A big thank you to Edie for hosting the 20th Anniversary of the Cruisers on Tuesday morning! The weather was splendid as the gathering sat in the shade of the front yard of Edie’s house and caught up with each other. In addition to the current walking/running group, we were joined by “original” Cruisers Bobtoc and Marie, Rod, Pat, Barry, Christina and John, and were also glad to see Rachel. John showed some photos and videos of past Cruiser road trips, which brought back a lot of memories for the participants in those years.
