I heard the Longest Walk 4 is in St. Louis today. It brought back some memories! The Longest Walk camped right there by the arch back in 1978. I remember laying there in the grass under the arch and looking up at it. Didn’t think I would remember that but what else do 10-year-olds remember! This reminds to tell everyone to not let the chance to walk with the walkers pass you by — there is so much knowledge that can be learned. No amount of money can buy that. Things are going to change drastically and get very hard for all people these next 40 years. All the knowledge and wisdom that came from the walk in 1978 has carried us these past 35 years , we need to continue that for whats coming next.
