Norwich, Vermont packed the streets today June 5, 2010 as they officially welcomed Kevin Pearce home, according to a story from the Associated Press.
Walking gingerly but on his own, Pearce hugged his friends and well-wishers, threw T-shirts to children and thanked anyone who would listen for rallying to his side. . . “I’d just like to say thank you you guys so much for everything you’ve done for me, and it’s just so incredible how helpful it’s been to me,” he said. “Thank you all so much.” . . . Fire trucks blew their horns, hand-lettered signs saying “Kevin is Home” and “KP Our Hometown Hero” adorned a white clapboard gazebo and Town Recreation Director Jill Kearney presented him with a baseball cap and golf shirt in a ceremony that drew about 200 people.
Quite a lot to go through for a golf shirt, but we know KP was stoked.
