As many of you know, “Cool Beans” is a phrase that was frequently used by our friend and fellow 99, Theresa Dellaquila. Theresa passed away from breast cancer in 2006. When Alison and I first flew the Air Race Classic in 2008, we decided to honor Theresa by naming our team “Cool Beans”. This year we are continuing to honor Theresa with our team name but are also putting pink ribbons on our plane and wearing pink race shirts. Additionally, we are expanding our dedication of the race to family, friends and colleagues who we personally know who have fought or are fighting the battle with cancer. The first names of these folks are listed below. They are all amazing people and we dedicate this race to them.
Alice, Bob, Brad, Don, Fran, Frank, Jack, Jane, John, Kathy, LeeAnn, Lois, Nancy, Rick, RoseMary, Sharon, Theresa, Trevor, Wendy
