I spoke with Shauna yesterday evening, and she couldn't say enough about how awed she is by the support she has received. And very, very grateful! The church was packed for Munda's funeral on Tuesday - with not only friends and family, but also most of the staff of Munda's former employer, Aero Energy, including CEO Tom Washburn. And the Aero vehicle fleet - some of which had been washed and shined up very, very early that morning, I heard - made up the bulk of the procession to the cemetery. (Pictures and a video below.)
Several of those who attended requested the addresses of Mr. Washburn and Rev. Ruddy, who led the service. They are:
Tom Washburn, CEO
Aero Energy
230 Lincoln Way East
New Oxford, PA 17350
Pastor James Ruddy
Bethel Assembly of God
2075 Fish & Game Road
Littlestown, PA 17340

Shauna and I also discussed the upcoming Aero benefit dance in memory of Munda. "It'll be a celebration of Munda's life," she said. It will also be another chance for the many communities that were touched by Munda's life to come together - and I really look forward to that, too. They/you are wonderful people!
The dance will be held on November 6 from 7:00 pm until 11:00 p.m. at the New Oxford Social Club Pavilion in New Oxford, PA. (Click here for location and directions.) There will also be a raffle. Contact Joyce Miller in the Aero Payroll/H.R. Dept for tickets to the dance, or to donate items for the raffle - email her (click here) or call 717-624-5810. Be sure to ask all your family and friends!
In the coming weeks, I'll post here a list of items for the raffle. Rumor has it that they include a pair of designer sunglasses and a quite expensive Raymond Weil Swiss-made ladies' wristwatch. Homemade crafts (maybe yours?) and gift certificates will also likely be among the raffle items!
Finally, I'd also like to write and thank everyone who has "bought" miles for the Run for Munda campaign. You've been - and you continue to be - a HUGE help! So this campaign, too, will continue through November 21, the date of the JFK 50-Mile Race. I'll post more information on the actual race later - but if you're interested now, you can find a map of the course online - click here.
Thank you, again, everyone! See you on November 6?
