Hello friends,

It's Monday, May 11, and we have successfully pulled the plane. I am still sore. Yeow! That sucker is heavy! A Boeing 737 weights 83,000 pounds, and the guy up in the cockpit looked a little plump. He could have skipped breakfast, at least (just kidding)!

I ended up pulling for two teams – The Mighty Meeting Makers, and Temple Football. The MMM team and Temple both made the ‘pull-offs’ so I ended pulling the plane 4 times, 50 feet each time. My Temple team won with a time of 16 seconds. These kids were all 6’4” or taller and are build like brickhouses. No wonder 'we' won! It was a great event. I am really glad to be involved and help in some way.

Again thanks to your help, I’ve managed to raise $400.00 so far for Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House. The site is open until August 9. Please send my page on to anyone who might like to donate!
