I hope you had a good Independence Day celebration!

I celebrated America's birthday by marching with volunteers in five parades across Northwest Indiana. We all had a great
time and I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the many people who joined me in the parades.

If you were unable to attend, you can catch a glimpse of the fun at my online photo gallery.
