The Great Greyhound
Goodwill Air Tour stops in Dallas
July
19 , 2002
"They're here! They're here!"
It was the moment we waited for when Maggie McCurry and Val Malutin
arrived at Addison Airport on the Dallas leg of The
Great Greyhound Goodwill Air Tour. Maggie and Val touched
down with their precious cargo on Friday, July 19th at approximately
11:25AM at Addison Airport.
The precious cargo was two greyhounds: Bryce and Yvonne. Both
were brought to GU from Kansas
City Greyhound Support. They came to Dallas to find forever
homes.
Ok, let's backtrack a bit. The
Great Greyhound Goodwill Air Tour is a project of Maggie McCurry
and Wings
for Greyhounds to transport greyhounds around the United States
bringing an awareness about what greyt companions greyhounds are.
Dallas (or more specifically Addison Express at the Addison Airport)
was stop #20 of the 24 city tour.
The photos that you see on this page chronicle Maggie, Val, Bryce,
and Yvonne's arrival and welcome.
We want to thank the following Dallas-area media organizations
for covering this greyt event: The Dallas Morning News, The
Dallas Morning News - Northwest Morning News, Fox 4 (TV),
the Plano
Star Courier, and WB 33 (TV),
And the greys say "AhRooooo" to GU volunteers: Hila
Blochowitz, Nancy Callas, Gail Clarkin, Sammye Conway, Jim DeGraff,
Brenda Gasperich, Dave Gillen Mark Lemon, Susan Lemon, and David
Savage for making this event happen
The greys also extend a double "AhRooooo" to Maggie
McCurry and Val Malutin for sharing their hearts, energy, and
time to giving them new homes.
