We have some really exciting news to share! A few short weeks ago Emily received an email from Alice Ramsey’s great grandson, Andrew Ramsey. Andrew found out about the drive when someone sent him a link to www.aliceramsey.org

Until recently we had not yet found/had contact with the Ramsey family and are very pleased to share his email with everyone. We will be meeting with Andrew (13), his father Peter (Alice’s grandson) and quite possibly Alice Ramsey’s daughter, Alice, sometime in the next month or so. Alice has recently reached the amazing age of 98 years old. Congratulations Ms. Ramsey, we look forward to meeting you to learn more about your amazing mother and share our drive with you and your family.

Thanks for reaching out to us Andrew! We look forward to meeting your family and working with you to celebrate your Great Grandmother’s amazing feat!

Dear Emily Anderson,

My name is Andrew Huyler Ramsey, Great Grandson of Alice Ramsey. I live in Weston, Massachusetts, and I am 13 years old. My mom found out about your drive from a family friend in Indiana and told me about it. I think that it is a wonderful excursion you are planning, and the time and effort that must go into making this happen is a great tribute to my great grandma Ramsey.

My Dad, Peter Ramsey actually rode across the USA with Alice when he was a kid. I never met Alice, but i know her daughter, My great aunt Alice Ramsey Bruns. We just sent her a copy of Mr. Franswa’s book, and the info from your website. She will be very excited. In may, we are planning to help celebrate her 98th birthday in Florida! she actually drove across the USA with Alice TWICE in her life.

We would love to come see you off in NYC on June 9th, 2009, and if you have any space left in the car at all, i would love to squeeze in, if only for a short period of time.

Good luck,

Andrew Huyler Ramsey
