Dear Friends,

Frank Seiberling,
was very familiar
with the power of ideas,
and the realm of possibilities...

as he so clearly states
in this tribute letter to
Carl Fisher...

"All human progress is based on ideas-
ideas conceived in the minds of single individuals-
transmitted to others-
developed and executed into concrete,
living realities."

The purpose of these emails
has been to take these ideas,
roll them around,
show you how they work
and where we go from here.

Over the next 6 years,
the realm of possibilities is endless.

Here's just a sampling...

2004
90th Anniversary
Christening
The Lincoln Highway.

In 1914 Lincoln Highway Officials
dipped the rear wheel of a 1914 Saxon
in the Hudson River at Coney Island,
filled a canteen full of water
and began the 3400 mile journey
to San Francisco.

There they drove the front wheels
into the Pacific and emptied
the canteen thus christening
The Lincoln Highway.

Plans call for a similar trip
using a 1914 Saxon
Fire Chief's Car
and stopping at Fire Stations
similar to the trip in the
"Spirit of the Lincoln Way".

2004

Possible Presidential
Lincoln Highway Campaign Tour.

2005

Motorcycle Relay
Washington DC-San Francisco

In the summer of 1915
the War Department sponsored
a Motorcycle Relay
to demonstrate the use of motorcycles
to carry military dispatches.
President Wilson started the relay
from the steps of the capital
with a dispatch for
Charles Moore,
President of the Panama-Pacific Exhibition.
137 Riders took part in the week long
relay riding Harley's and Indian's

Plans call for a re-enactment
of this event with a special
Lincoln Highway Chopper
leading with other
Orange County Choppers along for the ride.

Celebrities could ride different legs,
with others bikers joining in
along the way.

This is Mr. Lincoln and me with the Director.

Plans call for re-enactment
to start at the White House...

as the finale to Lincoln Bicentennial...

and end in Lincoln Park

and possible re-enactment
of 1919 first Transcontinental Air Race.

Whew...

A lot going on,
but I can pull it off
like a walk in the park
with the proper exposure.

It's all set,
the foundation is laid,
so it's just a question of,
if and when.

Warmest Regards,
