Photo Gallery 1: April-May, 2007
May 12, 2007: I encountered Lee along Ohio State Route 303, about a mile east of Peninsula, Ohio on
Friday 11 May 2007.  I stopped to take photos and to chat. He said he was way behind, so he was soon
on his way.  I saw him again as he passed my home just west of Shalersville, Saturday afternoon, 12
May 2007.  Truly a remarkable gentleman.  We wish him Godspeed! Denny Goddard, Shalersville, OH
April 20, 2007: Hello. Sorry it took me so long to
get this picture sent. We met Lee in Wabash, IN
not too far from the Walmart there. My husband
(Gary) is in the picture with Lee. We were really
interested in hearing his story. Just happen to
go to Walmart that day and seen where he was
camped.  We wish him the best of luck. May God
Bless him and his companions and keep them
safe. Gary & Doris Ward. Lagro, In.
May 7, 2007: "I've been following Lee's progress
across Ohio - he seems to be doing great!  I love the
sign that he now has on the back of the wagon - tells
people who he is and where to find more
information!  [These are] pictures I took when Lee
was a Rural King in Decatur, Indiana.  Unfortunately,
it was late afternoon and the picture didn't turn out
too great.  The little girl petting Katie is Lauren Bard,
her mother (Esther Bard) is kneeling beside her.
Caitlynn Bard was talking to Lee and has her back to
the camera. Esther is my daughter and Lauren &
Caitlynn are my granddaughters."  Nola Rains,
Decatur, IN.

May 1, 2007: This is a picture of Tina and Sandy
by the sign they made for Lee when he stopped
in Tiffin, Ohio. The sign is mounted on the back
of Lee's wagon. Many thanks to Tina Theobald
for making the sign and sending this picture!



May 2, 2007: These pictures were taken by Nancy
Carn on US. 224 just outside of Tiffin, almost at St.
Route 19.

"Lee was here in Van Wert, Ohio on Thursday,
April 26, 2007. He camped at the Van Wert
County Fairgrounds."

"While mowing yesterday I saw him coming down the road.  Camera ever ready, I just had to take
some shots of this, whatever it was. This was around 1:00 p.m. on US 24 three miles west of
Logansport, IN.  Today's paper had Lee's story and the link to his web site.  Very interesting and it'll be
kinda neat to follow his progress now.  I'm sure he appreciates your help."   Photos below contributed

Notice the difference between Lee's pictures and donated pictures? Lee would like to have photos
of the areas he visits and the people he visits with; that is because he wants to always have
reminders and mementos of his great journey. The pictures people are sending in are of Lee and
his wagon! That's because Lee and his entourage are unique sights to people everywhere he
goes. It's a matter of perspective, of course.
"My husband came home from work yesterday
(5/19/2007) and had some errands to run in town.
He called me after he left and said, "I think you
need to go for a ride, there is like a covered
wagon of sorts out here, you gotta see it!" So I
packed up the kids and off we went heading east
on St. Rt. 322 just outside of Conneaut Lake, PA.
What an amazing thing to see!  I parked up the
road a bit and waited on him to get some pictures.
 I did say "Hi!  That is quite a trip!"  He replied,
"Well, it keeps me out of trouble." We watched
him walk along for a little bit and then ran home to
check out the web site. What an inspiration!  I
called a TV station and the local newspaper to get
the word out. He certainly is living a lot of peoples'
dreams."

May 15, 2007: Brad Bolton says "I heard about Lee on NPR Saturday morning, so I knew he was in the
area, and his lymphoma story.  I was hoping to see him, but my schedule did not allow me to go out
searching for him.  I'm a musician - Saturday night I had a gig at a winery in Garrettsville, and was
travelling rte. 88 to get to my gig.  I was stuck behind traffic a few miles south of Garrettsville,
something I've never experienced, and wondered what could have caused this bottleneck.  Finally I
saw Lee's wagon, and knew I had stumbled upon the man I wanted to meet.  I parked my car about a
quarter mile ahead of Lee, ran back to him, took a few pics (enclosed), wished him well.  In that short
time I noticed that he was closing in on my parked car, so I had to run back and get out of his way.  
Please let him know that he enlightened my day."
 
12 May 2007 to 13 May 2007, Garrettsville, Ohio (Portage County): Lee arrived in town around 7:45
p.m. on Saturday and left a little after 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. Lee received a police escort into town by
Garrettsville Police Department. Lee (and his traveling companions) stayed the night in a field shared
by Community Ambulance, Inc. and Garrettsville Freedom Nelson Joint Fire District. After a "Delicious
Dinner", according to Lee, from a local restaurant, Lee returned to the EMS station to check his
emails/ guestbook and then chat with the crew on duty. Lee, and the rest of the traveling crew, posed
for a picture before departing North on State Route 88 towards Bristolville, Ohio (Trumbull County),
where arrangements had been made for him to stay at Bristol Fire Department. Lee was then
escorted out of town again by Garrettsville Police Department. Many residents of Garrettsville and
surround communities stopped by to visit with Lee and support him on his journey. Pictured in this
photo are: Sgt. Anthony Milicia, Garrettsville Police Department; James Hoffman, EMT-Basic,
Community Ambulance, Inc. & Garrettsville Freedom Nelson Joint Fire District; Jeffrey Kaiser,
EMT-Intermediate & Firefighter - Community Ambulance, Inc. & Garrettsville Freedom Nelson Joint
Fire District; and Christopher Sanchez, Lead Medic, Community Ambulance, Inc.
