Is the Banner up for grabs?
That'll be between you and SVT. Right now the plan is for me to get it from him this weekend, details TBD. Then I'll deliver to next member (also TBD) in FL. If someone isn't found before the weather warms up a little I'll take it to key west myself.

I agree this needs to get to Key West as soon as possible, even is that means I don't get it. If you and SVT want to bypass me that is fine, just let me know please.

Okay, plans are for me to get the banner from SVT in Manchester, TN on Saturday afternoon (around 2pm eastern or 1pm central). If anyone in that area wants to sign it, then would be the time. Please let us know ASAP so we can work out the details.

If anyone between Manchester and Macon GA wants to sign this thing now is the time to let me know. I'll be bringing it back down on Saturday afternoon, after it hits Macon it won't be headed north again until after it gets to Key West, and then it'll be in the mail headed towards Jim. Hopefully I won't be sitting on the banner more than a couple weeks before another member steps in for Florida, so now is the time to be planning for that as well.

Anyone in the Middle GA area that wants to sign is welcome to shoot me a PM to set a meeting. I work afternoon/night so it'll have to be around Warner Robins, GA before 12:30 pm or I can travel a little further on the weekend.

Now I remember why I hide from cameras. I should have at least grabbed my hat out of the truck.

Good seeing ya again Rick, thanks for being the middle man for me and Andrea. The banner is now in Fort Valley, GA. If any Georgia member wants to get a shot at signing while it's here we'll see shat we can work out. Hopefully it won't be spending long in GA before it moves to the next set of hands in FL.

Great job to the women and men of "The Rescue Squad (TRS) :dunno:". Back when us few members up here in Alaska where informed by Jim we would be getting a banner and tasked with getting it to our Canadian members I saw the challenges and risks, we pulled it off (JeffJ) and so did the Canadians as have many others across the USA. As a grandfather of this banner I reckon it should go straight to Key West, then be sent to Jim Oaks and retired. There can/will be other banners but this one needs to meet its maker... so to speak.

Josh, again, good seeing you again. Sorry about the bad pic, blame it on the windy day, lol.
I am blaming it on the wind and loosing out on 8 hours overtime pay ($40/hr). I think it had more to do with hitting the sack at 3am, up at 7:30am, on the road by 8:30am, then driving nearly 5 hours. The truth is that I'm lazy and like to eat. Have access to a free gym, buy can't seem to get motivated to use it.

Banner will roll on ASAP after someone steps up to take it.
