Scroll to June 26 when they arrived in Harrisburg and Day #8 6/27 ( 3 parts ) and Day# 9 6/28 (2 parts). Lou Searles led the ride on 6/28 and will share the HBC participants in his report. That special ride had many memorable experiences as well.
There were so many highlights on 6/27 … it is almost impossible to pick out a few. The morning ride on the river with Dick Norford and Dave Raup sharing historical stops to HACC, at the 911 memorial on the Public Safety campus. Director Randy Padfield speaking to us and the cadets He was a first responder from Harrisburg deployed to New York City. Dodging the rain to the State Capital where we met Senator Devin Robinson and was recognized on the Senate floor. Roxy’s for a delicious lunch.
