| From Neil Hodkinson E.mail hodkinsonn@ntlworld.com Hello. I met Alex today in Manchester, England. I work at Hunts Motorcycles. I will see him again on Saturday, but i just wanted to wish him all the best in the future. GOOD LUCK ALEX |
Dear Iris & Family It is Jill's and my pleasure to host Alex whilst he achieves this mammoth expedition. He is very brave, he is doing what we just all 'talk about doing' you are I'm very proud of him. Eng V in Manchester looked after him at first now it was our pleasure to do the same here in Leicestershire & Rutland with England VIII. One his first afternoon he was very busy with a press interview from two local newspapers 'The Hinckley Times' and 'The Leicester Mercury' both have run features of him with a few photos. I will ensure that you are sent a few copies. The local radio station also ran a feature on Alex on the hourly news bulletin's every hour yesterday, this done so that his arrival in the County of Leicestershire & Rutland was given maximum effect and publicity. Alex also met our Deputy Chief Constable Mr David Lindley at police HQ yesterday, where we exchanged gifts. We are taking Alex with us to the North East of England today to England III Rally in Walworth Castle, he will love the rally. I am taking him through some lovely scenery before we ride along the main freeways. We will ride through a part of Nottingham Forest where of course you will recall 'Robin Hood' and his merry men used to frequent. Alex could easily spend a week here in our County, we have so much history on our door step, Stratford Upon Avon is 20mins away, Market Bosworth the site of the War of the Roses in 1485 is just 10 mins away. May be its an excuse for YOU ALL to come over and look around in a more leisurely pace. I know a few of the contacts in Europe where Alex is heading, Matthew Wadd and Ludo are just two of them. We rode down to Croatia with Matthew last year. Jill and I will do all that we can to help Alex on his way and to ensure that he returns to the good old US of A safe and sound. We will monitor his trip. Please send us some of your sunshine!! It is raining again today. Love and best wishes, RWP Alan & Jill Morris President England VIII |
