Today I find myself in Huntington WV. I am here to attend a dedication of a Running Track. It's not just any running track. This track is being dedicated to Dr. Paul Ambrose. Dr. Paul died on the plane that crashed into the Pentegon on 9/11. He was senior clinical advisor with the Office of the Surgeon General who worked toward improving health care in his country with a special focus on minorities. His parents, Ken and Sharon, live here in Huntington, WV and these types of programs (running tracks in rural areas to enable people to become more physically fit) were what Paul focused on. This particular project is a 26 mile bicycle and pedestrian track and is called the Paul Ambrose Trail for Health
His mother and father were key in getting this project done. These loving parents have been able to take up the cause that Paul worked for as their own and thereby turned this tragedy into great gain for everyone. I was very honored to be asked to come and be a part of the dedication.
