Poor Mike had more rain on Thursday. He says it's rained so much he's just gotten used to it, even though he still hates starting the morning all wet and chilly.
He traveled to Falmouth, Ky., where he stayed with Deane Tennant, who read about Mike's trip on the Internet and offered to provide lodging. Turns out, Tennant is an alumni of Lipscomb University, Mike's employer and the beneficiary of his fund-raising campaign. He was on campus earlier this month for graduation when the Class of 1959 was honored at a Golden Circle reception and announcement during the commencement ceremony. Tennant earned an education degree and Lipscomb and has had a successful career as a superintendent of schools in Kentucky and Ohio.
Don't forget, if you would like to donate to Mike's Underground Railroad Bike Tour Diversity Scholarship Fund at Lipscomb University, click here.
