And ironically the AIG is turning my garden in front of my house into a community garden. One of the AIG managers aunts lived in my house too!

Hello,
I am Deborah Drew, Chris Drew’s widow. I want all Critical Mass riders to know how much I appreciate their memorial ride on Friday, May 25th to honor my husband Christopher Drew. Although I’m grieving the loss of Chris, your tribute to him brings me unimaginable joy. Chris loved participating in the monthly rides as well as screenprinting patches on site at the Daley Plaza. I have several pictures of you guys and Chris at the mass ride that I’ll treasure as long as I live. Please stay in touch, I’m planning a memorial service for Chris at the American Indian Center this summer and I’d like as many of you to be there as possible.
God Bless You All,
Deborah Drew

Also, the AIC says they'll "put a Drew memorial panel in front on Friday night"

Comment by S.Presley☠ on May 24, 2012 at 9:45am: Thanks Andrew, the map is a great tribute to his style. reminds me of the last map I got from him sept.

Comment by Andrew Bedno on May 24, 2012 at 6:38am: We've done everything we can. Map is planned and printed, and the Derailleur Chris Drew memorial edition is heartbreakingly beautiful. The American Indian Center and friends of Chris Drew contacts have been contacted (though we have no idea if there'll be anything awaiting the mass). If the AIC is closed or full, continue on to Morse Avenue (honorary Chris Drew Way).

Route flyer is posted on http://massup.us

And I've transcribed it to Google Maps (under 17 miles).

C U Friday!
