Day 119
Clarion Suites Hamden

On February 19, 2010, the Torch arrived in Hamden CT, just north of New Haven. This was our volunteer driver Bob Fairbanks from New Hampshire, last day.
It was also a day that we met with John Gray, who is in need of a kidney transplant; John was joined by his two sons Gianni & Armani.
Our Gardian Angel was Falisha Smith, the director of Sales for Clarion Suites in Handem and the hotel. She arranged the Press Conference at the hotel and put George Marcello up for 4 days. Her 8 year old daughter Marihh was the Hamden Torch Champion
Hopefully a driver will appear, as George is very determined to continue. We thank Bob for his excellent services and pray for John to recieve his gift.
