When the Michael Peterson, My Real Life Tour, comes to town it’s not just a high school program. It’s really a community event. Well in advance a group of local volunteers or “circle of influence” people are solicited to help put together numerous local events, including school programs, press conferences, hospital visits and other types of events.
In Columbus, NE we were escorted into town by the Legion Riders and treated to lunch which they prepared for us. One of their leaders is David Kamenske, pictured here on the left. He says that part of what they’ll do, working with Michael and the tour is raise money for the American Legion Legacy Scholarship. The scholarship provides funds to help children of single parents, as a result of the war on terror, with their college education. Michael is the national spokesperson for this effort.
