Steve Shriver – An Early Friday Update

Steve emailed me late last night to let me know things are going well on his Organic Endurathon in Iowa. "Kimberly Dickey ran 11miles and Dennis Henderson ran the remaining 15.2 miles. Not much to report - great weather, and only one dog chased us today!"

Today is shaping up beautifully for the team. We're anxiously waiting to hear how things went at Norway Public School.

Steve mentioned that Senator Borak Obama from Illinois will be speaking at the Pentacrest in Iowa City at 3 pm today. You may recall the senator became an overnight celebrity in 2004 after his speech at the Democratic Convention. In his book, Audacity of Hope, he defines himself as an antidote to cynical politics. His vision for the U.S. includes universal access to health care, minimum wage increases, government resources dedicated to stem cell research and reduced student loan rates.

And, I just got an email from Frontier Foods that they have everything ready for the lunch with Steve and his team. Thanks for the correction, Kathy - Frontier is a consumer coop owned by 20 000 retail stores - Tony is their CEO.
