Date: Wed, 7 May 1997 12:04:50 -0700 From: T o M Subject: The "Search for the Beginning of Wind" Tour I had the opportunity to meet a very special man last night... Charlie Ford is the name he goes by and the "Search for the Beginning of Wind" tour is what he is currently involved with. He has posted some highly enjoyable (well, to most people anyways) stories about his adventures on the road in his '79 CawCaw brown bus. Myself and a friend met up with Charlie last night in the Fremont district of Seattle at a bank parking lot where we discussed religion, the current state of our youth, vw's, and his wonderous trip across the country. Well, Charlie discussed and we just listened & anyone who's met Charlie will understand ;) After an exciting experience involving an ambulance, fire truck and a 95 year old man (i'm sure Charlie will explain this in his next post) we headed to the Still Life cafe (the coolest place to dine & drink in north Seattle!) for coffee, beer and more talk. Charlie has been involved with AmeriCorps for many years now and is very passionate about the project and has much information to provide anyone interested in this endevour. After only a few hours in his prescence he left me with those warm fuzzy feelings you get when confronted with a beautiful soul, feelings that will last for a long time. Of course he also planted some seeds for adventure and the possibility of my own trip. If he comes to your town please get tickets because he puts on one hell of a show!
