The car has been restored, and Hubert doesn't know how many miles were on it before he got it. He can do repairs and order replacement parts through a catalog. Hubert said he and his wife won't drive on rainy days or after dark. Gale Goodwin, a dispatcher for the Montmorency Sheriff's Department, is coordinating the pledges for the DARE program, which is funded solely through community contributions. The program just doesn't deal with drug issues, they deal with all kinds of issues.
People can pledge by the mile or just give a donation.
Goodwin said they have received contributions from several companies in the county as well as outside the county. Hubert plans to solicit contributions on the trip. He also plans to fax updates on the trip to Goodwin, who will forward the information to area newspapers and radio shows. Anyone who wants to pledge money to DARE can send them to the Montmorency Sheriff's Department at P.O. Box 280, Atlanta, MI 49709. The Traverse City Record-Eagle.
