Hi, here is a quick update of my trip to see Stephen at the Kennedy Krieger Rehab Hospital in Baltimore. To be honest, Baltimore was a place which I said I would never visit again, the last time I was there we were all filled with despair after Stephen's tragic accident and the life changing effect it had on the lives of our family, but then we should all learn never to say never! Stephen has been at The Kennedy Kreiger rehab hospital for 7 weeks and has just returned back home to California this weekend. I flew out to see him 2 weeks ago to see how he was progressing in rehab. I went to see him working out, and I mean working out, in the gym where physio and occupational therapy take place.

It's 1994 and Chris Moeller wrote down some happenings on the people who lived at the POW house. Lots has changed since then but it's fun to look back in time to see how things were done back then. Alex Leech from the UK had been sitting on his POW photos for over 14 years and he's stoked that they're finally getting used. Chris Moeller wrote the captions. Here's part two of the Live to Ride, Ride to live story by the Maddog.

It’s about 7:00 pm. The house is empty except for Big Island and Jay. Everybody is working for the moving company today. Moving is a sketchy deal. Crazy ex-cons on speed moving FBI
