Ernie Andrus walked coast-to-coast five years ago when he was only 92 years young. This year, he began the trip again but due to his health was unable to complete it.
During the first trip Freestone County Sheriff Jeremy Shipley walked through the County with him.
This year Ernie’s friend, John Martin, is working to complete the trip for him, and yes, he was joined on his trip by Sheriff Shipley.
On Saturday, November 21, 2020, they walked through Fairfield, Texas, where Mayor Kenneth Hughes and other joined the walk.
This is only the third occasion people have joined John on his walk.
Ernie is following along on social media, keeping up with everything as John completes his walk.
Thank you Ernie for showing us you are never too old to have a dream and a goal, and thank you John for showing us what friendship is truly about.
