THE June 6, 2013 Page 3 at my son, who was wolfi ng down his grilled-cheese sandwich. I looked away from him and the room appeared to be spinning. My vision blurred. As I slipped into blackness, the last thing I heard was my wife screaming, “Andrew, what’s wrong?” I came to a minute or so later: disoriented, on the fl oor, a cold rag on my forehead, my wife and son by my side. The murmur of conversations from alarmed customers permeated the air. I was told I’d blacked out, that a nurse dining nearby rushed to my side, preventing my head from slamming against a table. Who that nurse was, to this day, I don’t know. She never told me her name. EMTs then came into view, calmly explaining they were taking me to St. Anthony. I blacked out again during the trip to the hospital and yet again in the emergency room, where a nurse upon seeing me come to said, “Thank God, you scared us there for a minute.” That was the start of a long, grueling journey. Crohn’s disease, of which I’d been diagnosed in 1998, had zeroed in for the kill. If someone had told me then that 2012 would involve eight trips to the hospital and two surgeries, I would have replied, “No way. Not me. Not at 42.” But that’s precisely what happened. Jerry was there for me, though, during that fi rst full month at the hospital when it seemed like getting the disease under control was impossible. He visited twice. The fi rst time, I have no memory of it. Images from those fi rst few weeks are a blur. The second visit, I was more alert. Jerry fi lled me in on the upcoming season at Mainstreet and what was going on in Michigan City. There were a few devel- opments, in particular, he wanted to vent about. I had to laugh. “What?,” he asked. “Well,” I said, “here we are, what, 14, 15 years later, and nothing’s changed. You’re still griping, I’m still listening.” He paused, then let out a big, hearty laugh. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” Months later, when my illness prevented me from working full time, Jerry wanted to make sure I still enjoyed the Canterbury season. Any show I wanted to see, he said, let him know. He’d save me a few comp tickets. My family and I did make it to a show: a spoof of Broadway musicals. My son, then 5, sat through the entire thing without squirming or com- plaining. In October, when Jerry and I united for an interview about local theater with Jane Daley from the La Porte County Convention & Visitors Bu- reau, Jerry mentioned that summer day, saying how proud he was that my son’s fi rst experience of seeing live theater for adults was at Mainstreet. He was beaming. I saw Jerry for the last time on Sunday, Nov. 4.

Something about the closest action was in the Kids’ 1K Race as Jackson Hennelly of Evanston, Il- linois, edged out best friend Conor Ebeling just as they reached the fi n- ishing mulch. In a tremendous bit of pacing that took a page out of Craig Virgin’s book, young Jackson brought the assembled crowd to its feet with his come-from-behind win at the tape. In the men’s 10K, it was payback time as Scott Ebeling (42:21) dominated a strong men’s fi eld to fi nish ahead of Jackson’s dad, John, who took 4th. A very strong performance was put in by Jacob Dewitt of Zeeland, Michigan, who placed second in 44:31. Ladies’ 10K winner was Natalie Krause of LaPorte.

“An offbeat race which is why I liked it.” --Hal Higdon (left) distance travelled and the pain that comes with it is very humbling. The Men’s 50K Race showcased a deep fi eld of talented runners. John Borman took the lead from the opening bell, but tired legs from running a 37 mile (oops!) 50K at Gnaw Bone a week earlier and the heat of the afternoon took its toll on the Valpo runner, and he fi nished in 2nd place. In the fi rst run of his life over 25 miles, Brent Ksenak made it look easy as he smiled his way to a course record 4:01 victory.

Sixteen years latter, the last 18 casualties occurred on May 15, 1975. The Moving Wall is in remembrance of all those who served, fought, and continue to guide our country to safety. “The Moving Wall” is the half-size replica of the Washington, DC Vietnam Veterans Memorial and has been touring the country for more than twenty years. When John Devitt attended the 1982 dedication in Washington, he felt the positive power of “The Wall.” He vowed to share that experience with those who did not have the opportunity to go to Washington. John, Norris Shears, Gerry Haver, and other Vietnam veteran volunteers built The Moving Wall. It went on display for the fi rst time in Tyler, Texas in October of 1984. Today, The Moving Wall contin- ues to tour the country and spends about two weeks at each location. The American Legion Post 204 is located at 204 W. Linden, Three Oaks, Michigan 49128. To make a tax deductible donation to The Moving Wall efforts, donations are being accepted online, www.movingwall.wixc.com/movingwall, or by check payable to “Moving Wall Fund” and submitted to Horizon Bank in Three Oaks, Michigan.
