Bob Gruelich was thrilled to visit the Salem Speedway after many years.

Bob, sitting in the middle of the front row, was able to share this special afternoon with family and friends.

Bob kept the ticket that the Salem Speedway provided for him.

 

Scenic Hills At The Monastery in Ferdinand had a big surprise for one of their residents.

Jeremy Kramer, CNA, filled out “Live A Dream” card for resident Bob Greulich. Kramer stated in the card “If it has four wheels and goes fast, Bob is watching.”

The Life Enrichment Team decided that a trip to The Salem Speedway would fill that dream. They loaded the bus and 17 of Bob’s family members plus staff set off for a trip to the speedway. Salem Speedway furnished Bob with a ticket and arranged for seating for all in the wheelchair section.

Bob was a fan of Salem Speedway and used to go there and watch races years ago. Bob’s group got to watch the Firecracker 200, the main event.

The activities director and life enrichment team leader at Scenic Hills is Tiffany Braun.

This will be a day Bob will remember forever. Our hats are off to the fine people at Salem Speedway and Scenic Hills at the Monastery for making this possible.
