….what to do?  Why ‘BIKING FOR DOLLARS’ of course as only the inimitable Rose Nielsen could do.  The goal…to raise money for a scholarship fund at Woodbury in Ken’s name to honor his 16 years of service.…….who would ever dream so big!  After a year of riding rain or shine…heat or cold…Rose managed to pull off the impossible…biking 6,000 miles. Somehow, this journey was kept secret from Ken which is why I couldn’t post the victory party sooner.  It was held at daughter Britta’s house while Ken was in China.
