Laura Mullen had contacted the Reamer Club at Purdue to see if the Boilermaker Special could show up at Joey's end-of-cancer party in January 2017. It was out of commission at that time for maintenance, but they gifted Joey a future ride. After we attempted to arrange his birthday party on the Special, we rescheduled to the first Sunday in October, which turned out to be a gorgeous day for a ride around campus! We were joined by a lot of our wedding party (noted because the last time we were on the Boilermaker Special was at our wedding) - both sets of parents, Scotty, Kate, and Julie (and their families)- as well as our friends the Koenigs.

| As we cruised through the Purdue President's property, guess who showed up on his motorcycle? He hopped on and talked to us for a while, but declined a ride, since he'd been out most of the day on his bike. |
