Dear Mayor Di Guilio,
I would like to first thank you and further share with you the
up-to-date success of the 2014 Golden Generation Thousand Miles
Ride.
On April 2nd, the arrival of the team at the beautiful and grand city of
Port Angeles started the very cozy and special welcome ceremony
led by you and later unfolded its Northwest America adventurous
cycling journey.
You, your Councilmembers, Chamber of Commerce Representatives,
and the local tribal members who brought with them their amazing
traditional music highlighted the warmth and friendliness to our
far-from Taiwan visitors. The forward-looking and cheerful moods
were also optimized by a warm sunny early-April gorgeous day.
Every bit of the moments we shared that day with everyone present
was absolutely unforgettable.
I must convey to you that the peak of the pier ceremony laid on the
brief prayer given by Reverend Fang, Cheng, who prayed for
condolences in choking tears for those who lost their lives and
suffered in the recent Oso mudslide. It moved and connected every
soul.
Although the weather quickly made its turn the next day in Seattle,
the team boldly accomplished what they had come here to do and
crossed the 1-90 Floating Bridge, and they praised the scenic Seattle
very much.
I greatly appreciate your effort in welcoming this special team from
Taiwan. Thank you so much again for everything you and your
city had done for us and for the team prior, during and after. You
have sent a significant message to my countrymen in Taiwan how
beautiful and scenic Port Angeles city and the Northwest is and how
friendly Washingtonians are.
Sincerely yours
Andy Chin
Director General
