THANK YOU to all who donated money for Project Appalachia.
This is the day that our own 1981 trailer arrived at TLC.  Rev. Crowley guides his friend Dave just
where to put it.  It is already 14 years old, but it's beautiful, lettered and ready to haul greatly needed
items to families in need in the beautiful Appalachian mountains of West Virginia and Kentucky
known as Appalachia.  Prior to this we had rented or borrowed trailers.
Dave Fults backs our trailer in place to start loading on Saturday.
We hope and pray that everyone who reads the words on our trailer will be challenged to want to know
for sure where they will spend eternity.
This is our maiden voyage with our own trailer.  This tractor was donated by Penske Trucks for our
use to take relief goods into the mountains of West Virginia.  At that time we were making about 4
trips a year.   
This is one of the trucks we rented.  Rev. Crowley's sons Wallace and Brody, ages 4 and 5, want to help
dad wash the windows.  Since they couldn't reach, they had to climb up onto the hood.  My boys have
made many trips in the big truck with me.  What a special time we had.
This is the second Volvo that we had rented from Bergey's in PA.  Mike Krisanits, one of our board
members, went with me on this trip.  After driving a Volvo, I visited the Volvo plant that I pass every
time I go to Appalachia.  I saw how they were built and I prayed for 9 years for our own truck; a Volvo.
This 1999 Volvo 770 lived in Boston, MA.  We found it on the internet and purchased it in April 2003.
It had all the equipment that we needed, 10 new tires and low mileage too!  It needed a face lift, some
make up, a good bath inside and out and a whole lot of little fixes.
Out truck arrives home after being painted, just in time for the 4th of July parade.
Thanks to several companies donating goods and services, our 1999 VOLVO - 770 is transformed and
everything is in good working order.
The truck was repainted by Boulivard Body Works, Warren, NJ.
The truck was lettered by Gail's Lettering & Design, Annandale, NJ.
Our 1981 trailer is 24 years old and will need to be replaced soon. The rivets that hold it together are
all rusted and the twisting on the mountain roads takes its toll.  On one trip, several rivets popped.
We are delivering a load of furniture, appliances and many other items to Christian Appalachia
Project in Kentucky.    They are assisting many families devastated by a flood.
This is our new to us trailer.  We finished paying for it in August 2007 and now we have to raise
monty to letter it and make it look like our other trailer.
You can see the reflective lettering on the truck standing out.
