Our Little TN3 Treasurer, Mz Donna All Used Up, Road hard, and soon to be Hung Up Wet!
on the return Journey somewhere in Viriginia on the way back home to Knoxville TN.

Clell n Donna definitely came to the conclusion that 450 miles
in one 15 plus hour day was way past their limits but they made it
and we're glad that they got to be a part of Jessie's Services.

TN3 Members, Donna and Clell attended his Sunday Services in Virginia
along with Members of Amvett Riders, Patriot Guard Members and many other Groups
