A Fitting Tribute to Car Wash Mike
Wise One
Posts: 2,645
AS many of you may know, Mike was devoted to his step-granddaughter Kaleigh who passed away earlier this year. One of the activities Mike supported in Kaleigh's name was Startime Riders which provide horseback experiences for disabled individuals in western Missouri. While you're cooking this weekend, think about sending a small donation in Mike's (and Kaleigh's) name to this group. $10 from a hundred of us would be a fitting tribute.

Mike -
