Congratulations, Dennis! It was fun to follow you across the USA the past 6 weeks. We look forward to seeing your smiling face back here in Minnesota. We'll treat you to DQ.

Mr. McCoy!

Along with so many others, I made a toast in your honor on Friday evening, knowing you journey's end would coincide. I've talked about you and your adventure so much my friends feel like they know you!

But will any of us recognize the true Dennis upon his return? Absolutely! Shining brighter and higher than ever before.

Welcome home, pal. We're looking forward to sharing time with an enlightened man. Thanks!

- Brigitte

P.S. Your "welcome home" at LFHI is set for Thursday, Oct. 25 at 4 p.m. - Byerly's SLP!
