Comments From Supporters Patricia, I wish you the best of luck on your ride. I am originally from Kearney, Nebraska and now live in Kansas. (I am still a Cornhusker! J ) I rode on the Border Raiders Ride (www.borderraiders.com) in June. We left Lawrence, KS and went up to Fall City, NE and Syracuse, NE. I wanted to give you a “heads up” that that area along the borders of NE, KS and MO is very hilly! I wish I were able to ride the whole ride with you! Best of Luck! Gail Kline Assistant to Humanities, Social and Behavioral Science Cloud County Community College Hi
Patricia, Patricia Congratulations on your plans. I have two grandson’s living in Wahoo, Jack and Will Mortensen, ages 3 and 1 respectively who will benefit from your fund raiser. I am also 71 and ride quite a bit, mostly trails and club rides in Omaha. Best wishes and I will check out your donation page. Ronald A. Mortensen Omaha NE
Dear Patricia:
Hi Patricia - I was
reading the
Adventure Cycling
News Bit newsletter
Dear
Patricia:
Just met
Gabriel at a
meeting and
he told me
about you
and your
ride. I was
an avid
rider up
until a bad
accident
five years
ago but
still ride
-- just not
the
distances I
used to.
Had I known
about your
ride earlier
I would have
asked to
join you.
I'm curious
about how
many miles
you do a day
-- perhaps I
could still
come for
part of it.
Does it
require a
certain
amount of
money to
participate?
Gabriel's
description
of you
thrilled me
and I look
forward to
meeting
you. It is
so
encouraging
to find a
woman your
age doing so
much -- that
is my goal
-- to not
stop
participating
in the
things I
love just
because I am
getting
older. You
look
beautiful
and sound so
accomplished
-- I wish
you the best
of luck in
Atlantic
City. I
just
semi-retired
(in fact
right now I
am not
working at
all) so
could leave
at a
moment's
notice.
However, if
it doesn't
work out for
this year I
hope to be
able to join
you for a
ride
someday.
Again, best
wishes. And
you know as
they say
behind every
great woman
there is a
great man --
and
certainly
Gabriel is
just that.
Brigid
Patricia,
Hi Patricia,
We read the
article in
yesterday's
paper about your
new cycling
event, and
wanted to wish
you all the best
of luck!
Hopefully this
time you won't
have any car
problems!
Best regards,
Jolinda &
Patrizio
Good luck on all
your endeavors!
I loved hearing
La Malaguena.
It is one of my
favorite songs,
and I understand
it is one of the
most difficult
to play/sing! I
have a good
feeling about
all of this!
Marcela Sandoval
Patricia -
congrats on
your
upcoming
bicycle
journey! I
will not be
in
attendance
at this
year's
Nationals,
although I
would LOVE
to be
there.
Expenses far
exceed my
budget!
Keep in
touch!
Mary Richard
Ms. Senior
Nevada 2006
GOOD LUCK
PATRICIA AND
GABE !!!
ANGELS ARE
WITH YOU
!!!! GOD
BLESS YOU
!!!! Dear
Patricia,
Delighted to
hear from you.
There was a
lovely write-up
in the
news-press with
picture. I have
it on my picture
BB, that hangs
near my
computer. My
thoughts/prayers
will be with you
as you travel to
Atlantic City.
(Gabriel too) Get some
rest! This is
great and you
have done a
fantastic job
pulling it all
together. Hi Pat (and
Gabriel), Patricia, Thank you for the pictures. We will follow your trip intently. We wish we were riding with you. God’s speed. Bob & Dottye You go Patricia you are fantastic!!! Hi to Gabriel too I am writing you from Italy San Giovanni Rotundo, the shrine of Padre Pio -- having a great time with group of 27 people -- tomorrow on to Sorrento - God Bless and be careful and have fun !! Love in Christ, Fr Vaughn
AWESOME!!!!
What a
bright and
generous
SPIRIT! So wonderful! We support Patricia and Gabe 100000%! Valerie Rodriguez and family Dear Patricia. Great gobs of good luck. To Gabriel: the Sheryl contact by phone prayer gave humor, joy and excitement to our morning meeting. Before you get to someplace like Jefferson City contact a local office and get ye to a meeting. If Tony is not too tired take him to a meeting too! Our whole meeting is with you and Patricia on the ride of the century. Love, Gardiner.
Stay
strong,
stay
steady,
stay
spiritual and
look for
the Pot
of Gold
at the
end of
the
rainbow.
Hugs,
Marilyn,
(Ms. Sr.
California

Director)
Hello beautiful, it’s your queen mum in Santa Barbara. We all are so proud of you. Stay safe and we need to have you back talking to the group in January. My house is opened up to you always. Stay safe and make sure you take good care of Gabe. Love, JoAnn (and Dennis too) XOXOXOXOXO
Hi,
I
received
information
from
Pinky
O'Neil
about
your
amazing
journey
to
compete
in the
Ms. Sr.
America
Pageant
and
raising
funds
for
scholarships
for your
High
School. You
are
truly an
inspiration
to me
and to
others.
She said
you
would be
coming
through
my area
tomorrow
and was
wondering
what
time you
may be
coming
through
Christiansburg,
VA? I
was
first
runner-up
in the
MS SR
Virginia
pageant
this
year and
would
love to
meet you
but my
schedule
tomorrow
is very
busy so
may not
be able
to work
something
out. I
have to
work
tomorrow
as well
as
attend a
festival
our
church
is
involved
with and
my class
reunion
that I
am in
charge
of is
also
tomorrow
early
evening.
Let me
know of
your
schedule
and I
will see
if
anything
will
work.
Again,
you are
truly an
inspiration
Sincerely,
Diane
Yopp

We had a marvelous production in Westminster for the state pageant…everyone came out a winner!Patricia Eliason Starr was a sorority sister at Nebraska Wesleyan University in the late fifties. I feel very privileged that I played in the trombone section of the band with Patricia. I can still hear her Warsaw Concerto on the piano with the band accompaniment. I can also still hear her organ music that she played at my wedding in 1958~fifty years ago July 20, 1958. Wahoo Public Schools music department has to feel very fortunate to have a supporter such as Pat, Gabriel & Tony. Many school districts need this kind of support from the public. Sincerely, Rod & Sandra Sindt Been following you day to day via computer. Congratulations on making it to your destination—how exciting! Wishing you lots of luck in the pagent. Know you will go far. See you when you get back to Wahoo.Love, Harold & Joyce (fellow WHS Classmate)From a former Wahoo residentPatricia, Congratulations and good luck!Pinkey O’NeilLove Ya Patricia!Lee & Dica ChipperfieldCongratulations on such success!Don JessupWhat a Gal! I admire what you do for the field of music. But please stop poking me with your trombone slide during PTB practice!!!
Patricia, I wrote a check for your great cause on September 19th, but I'm just now getting it sent from many miles from home. I have really enjoyed following your tedious but thrilling experiences on wheels and on the stage. I'm always telling friends and relatives to check out your website, that they will not believe this talented lady is my age, and that I graduated from high school with her. I want to buy your book when it comes off the press. I appreciate and admire you. Love to you and Gabriel!
Marlis Grubaugh
Great Job! You're an amazing person. Keep up the good work. Your so full of energy and spirit.
