Shipment Departs June 9 for Riga, Latvia

 Orphan Grain Train--Michigan's 18th International Shipment

     On the afternoon before June 9 we received a call from New Jersey and a freight desk that our container order had been was mis-dated and they were scrambling to see if another could be obtained.  Through multiple communications another was found but ETA would be about 11:00 am instead of 10:00 as we planned.  Our volunteer crew had already been informed, so a subsequent E-mail blast late that afternoon hopefully updated everyone.  O.K.

     So the following morning we receive another call again from New Jersey to inform me the trucker was able to get out early and ETA was now 10:00 again.  Such are the exigencies which can happen, but this time we had the use of a high-low (forklift) which was great. 

    Kids hustled to help with some of our regulars who all pitched in.  Anyway, the load finally pulled away after another successful job.  This cargo has Riga, Latvia as its destination.
