Today was a full day of visiting donors in central New York State with other activities before and after the visits. Dave Loretan has a GPS navigation device and using it was a new experience for Charlie.

One of the Maryknoll cars had a brake problem so we used Dave Loretan's car for our visits in New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York. Here Dave is preparing to head back to Maryknoll after a visit. Dave Loretan on the road
In Goshen, New York we arrived a little early and had time to eat a tuna sandwich before visiting a donor who used to be a Maryknoll seminarian. This is Charlie Dittmeier in small-town Goshen. Charlie Dittmeier in Goshen, New York
The last stop of the day was with Maryknoll supporters whom Dave has known for years. He began his mission-related endeavors with the Peace Corps where he initiated contacts with these people who have been close friends through the years. Dave Loretan and friends
Back at Bethany, the office for the Maryknoll Lay Missioners, John and Cindy Korb were watching television when Dave and Charlie returned. John and Cindy Korb
