Wow, you guys are incredible! It's great that everyone was able to put this together -- I wish I could have come out.
Edit: Just saw Jason's pictures. And again, awesome.

Alexander's mom sent out a email update and I wanted to share a bit with everyone...
Thursday. Once again what an incredible day!
We started off this morning meeting with Josh of the Portland Porsche Club, and crew. We met at Speed Sports, Erik Clover's place. Thank you so much for the visit! It was great to meet you guys. We saw some some more spectacular cars. Of course he got pictures with the guys and the cars. It was very nice for Alexander to have this opportunity to meet you.
Then we were off to Seattle to meet the Seattle Ferrari club at Bahama Breeze in South Seattle. The reception was awesome we got to meet even more friends of this exotic world! I do not think that you people realize just how great you all are!
After Alexander receiving some great gifts, R.B. even gave Alexander his hat that he wore while on duty in Iraq; He wrote a special message on it. It was very touching. and more pictures with the cars and owners and new friends. We were escorted (with thanks to the police department) and all of the cars on I-5 through Seattle . It was awesome; the cars once again all around us and taking turns coming along side the "Vanarri" so Alexander could see and hear the engines roar. It was quite a thrilling experience once again. We ended at the Red Devil Raceway. A place were they run slot cars. It is neat. They devised a controller for Alexander to run a car on the little track and he did 100 + laps. Gerry the owner of The Red Devil Raceway gave Alexander a race set to take home.They also have set June 27th as a race day in Alexanders honor, it is so nice and if we can we will be back for this. Jason a cartoonists did charactures of us all.
Alexander is having one great trip. He is starting to miss his Dad and we all wish that he could have come with us. Unfortunately it has happened at his busiest time for work and he could not get away. I do not know what we are going to do to entertain Alexander when we get back home.? This has been the best experience he has ever had!
All the people who have just come out of no where and made him feel like the most important person in the world! I am in absolute awe of this, As well, I am very thankful for everyone who has worked so hard to make a young man feel this good.
Tomorrow is our last travel day to home. I will send out another update and let you all know how we do. It should be another good day!
