USNA 1973 Ride-2-Remember

Day 51, 23 September: Fremont to Oberlin, OH

Dave always has his scan going – scanning for obstacles, hills, traffic, and the next opportunity for food.  Today we were pedaling through the township of Norwalk when Dave stops, dismounts and leads us to Sheri’s, a nice-looking coffee shop. 

We enjoy a coffee and scone and of course Dave finds someone inside to take our picture – it’s John Evans, the local undertaker.  He obliges, and Tes cautions him not to step back into the street trying to get us in the frame. He replies, “It’s OK, I get a free burial.”

We spend several minutes chatting with him.  He tells us a bit about the history and current state of the economy in Norwalk and the greater Sandusky area and we tell him about our ride.  We give him one of our cards and he intends to follow us.  Onward.
