09-07-14 – Surprise visit for 4yo Carter - Frankfort IL.

Post by RulerMaul »

We were asked by Carter's Grandmother to stop and surprise him to try to brighten his day. He is battling Leukemia and loves Star Wars.

The event went well except little Carter was very intimidated by us. He hid behind his Mom most of the time. The local newspaper found out about the event and was there to take photos and report. Carter did warm up a bit after we suited down.

Attendees:

Luis Boileve TK 604 - TK
Patrick Lewis TK 52809 – TK
Paul Machnick BH 11222 - Boba Fett
Steve Mammen TK 7345 – Kit Fisto
Steve Szyndrowski SL 3052 - Vader
Phyllis Schulte TK 1951 - Jedi
Ted Ruler TI 36285 – TIE Pilot

Troop time: 4:00 – 5:30 PM
Total troop hours: 10.5
