We started the tour in Olathe, Kansas where we have a good group of supporters. Gary graduated from the university in Olathe so it was a time to catch up with old friends and make new contacts. We would like to thank the Dickie family who play bluegrass music at Silver Dollar City for coming out to play for the reception. Dr. James Dickie is on Samaritan's Board of Directors. We'd also like to thank Air Associates for hosting the event and Ray and Andrea for setting everything up. We set a goal for the tour of having 200 people sign up for $20 support for month. We picked up our first eight supporters towards the goal at this stop.
Ray was a mentor to Gary during his time in school here in Olathe. It was during that time that Samaritan Aviation was founded. It was a treat to bring the "Spirit of Paradise" to Kansas and get a picture with Ray and his plane. And thank him for his support during the early days.
