I’m sorry we didn’t have a designated AV person. We’ll see what turns up on Flickr and YouTube. If you would have seen us during the parade, it looked like this: 30 feet of empty street ahead of us, then I would be leading with the big blue banner, and then people holding the smaller placards would be back a couple paces on either side of me, then the vehicle, then two placard carriers behind it on either side to finish up. All around and amongst us, the other 6 of us without signs focused on handing lit to the people with their hands out. But we all passed out literature as the signs are all single-hand design. My dad was the driver again (while my wife had to take one daughter to a college thing and the other daughter had a music practice).
It was a perfect way to celebrate the perfect weather.

I know it’s complicated to go out and do something like that and I so appreciate all of you for doing it for the babies, Ron. THANK YOU.
This is great, first photos I’ve seen of the event. Thanks for posting Gloria and thanks for being there Ron.
