A Fitting Tribute to Car Wash Mike

Wise One · July 2010

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.

I sent them a few emails to see if they have a paypal address we could use since that form doesn't seem to have a method of payment, I'll let you know if I hear back. Didn't see a phone number or I would have called. -RP

Never got a chance to meet Mike, But sent a check today. All I put on the check was in memory of Car wash Mike. They'll get the idea.
Thanks

I will also try to do some ribs this weekend, and give a toast to a fallen member of a very special group of Egg Owners.

Desert Filly · July 2010

you know you got the Filly agreeing to this. Thanks Bill.

I haven't cooked for months (Work and family stuff have taken precedence). This seems like the best time to get back at it... Will do ribs in Mike's honor on Sunday... I even have some Blues Hog that he gave me in Atlanta... Fine time to open it...

RIP Mike...
