2006
Trailblazer Award
In
recognition of dedicated loyal support, frequent enjoyment of its
many life-enhancing benefits, and the enthusiastic promotion of the
Longleaf Trace
Betty Attaway-Fink, Ph.D.
Betty,
along with her husband Raby, traveled from their home in Poplarville
often to ride their identical bikes on the Longleaf Trace and to enjoy
nature and its beauty along the way. They looked forward, with great
anticipation, to meeting new acquaintances and loved helping and
assisting other users. Betty made each ride “an event, rather than just
a ride” as she and Raby started each ride thinking of someone less
fortunate , and dedicated the ride to that person. Betty always rode
with her heart with great effort and loved the peace that the dedication
gave her. Betty always looked at her peddling buddy after each ride,
while flashing her powerful smile, and said “Good Ride Clyde”.
In July, 2006, Betty lost her life to cancer, leaving Raby with lasting
memories of the many wonderful experiences of love, joy, and laughter
they shared

Bonnie & Fred Anglin
Fred and
his wife Bonnie, biking partners, avid supporters, and proud promoters
of the Longleaf Trace, are hereby recognized as the recipients of the
2005, and first Bonnie Anglin Trailblazer Award. On an almost daily
occasion, Bonnie and Fred could be found riding the trace on their twin
red recumbents. Their leisurely pace seemed to be set for them to
completely enjoy their natural surroundings and each other. The two
were sometimes referred to as the “official greeters” of the Longleaf
Trace, as they were often seen greeting guests to our community,
enthusiastically promoting the trace, or just simply offering assistance
to fellow users. Unfortunately, in February of 2005, Bonnie lost her
life to cancer, leaving Fred with the many wonderful memories of the
shared experiences and enjoyments they had on the Longleaf Trace.
