My apologies for posting so late. The past three months have been...numb...to say the least. My name is Joe Stiles. I'm Andy's best friend. I've known him for 9 years. I wanted to thank you all for your kind words and for your support during Andy's service. It meant a lot to me and to the rest of Andy's family. These Florida roads (especially US 19) are relatively dangerous, and the drivers here are...well...let's just say most of them aren't top-notch. Riding in general is dangerous, but blocking traffic signals is borderline crazy. You all did a wonderful job and I'm very glad to see you all made it home safely and the mission was successful. Thank you all again. I can't tell you how much it means to me. Joe Stiles xhexdx@yahoo.com
