| Dave & "Samantha" |
That’s Francis’s godfather, Dave Christi, with his pet
machine, Samantha. Dave and Samantha will be traveling from New York to Kansas
this spring, arriving at Leavenworth National Cemetery on Memorial Day in time for the annual services. This
will be Dave’s first visit to Francis’s gravesite and his first return to
Kansas since he participated in Francis’s funeral service over two years ago, when he offered a beautiful reading of Robert Penn Warren's poem,
"Small Eternity."
Dave’s “Ride to Francis” is a journey in which we can all join by following his
progress on-line and by contributing to the Kansas City VA Voluntary Services
Unit in support of their efforts to aid veterans in need in this region. To
date, we’ve raised nearly $17,000 in this effort! What an awesome tribute by Dave and an incredible legacy for
Francis! More info to follow as plans develop. Stay tuned.
