The fifth annual and FINAL ride took place on Saturday,
August 21, 2010. "Take-off" was at Five Points Shopping Center, 420 Alfred
Street, Biddeford (MAINE), at 10:00 a.m. The ride also landed at
Five Points Shopping Center at noon. Breakfast was served before the ride,
starting at 7AM. A barbecue with food & music took place in the afternoon.
The memorial rides have been a tremendous success. They raised
the bulk of the funds that will perpetuate the scholarship in Normand's name,
and they provided a wonderful opportunity for friends and family to fellowship
and celebrate Normand's life. We owe a tremendous debt to so many people and
agencies who have helped us. It has been touching, humbling, and gratifying.
Thank you all!
The logistics and requirement for traffic coordination became
such that we cannot continue to justify the public inconvenience, expense, and
safety risks. Fortunately, we reached a financial goal that will allow Normand's
scholarship awards to continue indefinitely.
