Martin and Lee McCollum in the Air Explorers.  The jeep that Lee's driving was our "emergency rescue vehicle."  However , it would only go 45 mph, so people would be passing us out on the highway, even though our lights and siren was blaring.

All the Explorers got together on a cold Winters day to paint the rescue truck. We painted it in an abandoned service station and kept the windows closed.  We also were drinking beer and smoking cigars, so with the paint, there were a bunch of sick kids.

Martin and parents.  Martin took a class called Insight.  In an exercise to vent all the pent up anger toward parents, he realized he had none and further more he was very thankful for his relationship with his Mom and Dad.  Martin left the Insight class, called his parent s to express the same to them.  As  a result they planned and took a trip back to Cleveland and other locations where they met and went to school.
