| Laying of the Final Golden Poo. Number 253,440,000 |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| We have now come to the "Final Moment." by Iris Takamiya of the first virtual Luau, Pam Mitchell, Deb Tabert Directors of Jet PigAir and Kim Vanderbilt owner of the HMS Avenger. Will now activate the remote controlled forklift mouse that will lift the last Golden Poo into place. This will be at the end of the line of poo's that have been laid along a mahogany handrail that reaches out across the beach. Ending exactly at the high water mark. |
| At this precise spot stands a magnificent 60-foot Totem Pole. Carved from a tall white pine it depicts Guinea Pigs in various stages of excitement and frivolity and reaching high into the sky. The Passamaquoddy Indians of Maine presented this gift to their honored brothers at the Ozette Reservation. To symbolize that we are all just one tribe of humanity on this wonderful world of ours and that we are also forever bound to our fellow Guinea Pigs by a bond that can never be broken. It is fittingly capped with a bust of Capt. Jenkins, paw to his brow. Looking out to sea for his ship, the HMS Avenger and possibly destinations beyond. |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| It has been placed here, directly at the point where the last Poo has reached, marking a point in space that will long remain in the minds of those who took part. An epitaph to a great achievement by a few determined Piglets, who did not know the meaning of the word "Quit" |
| Who, by their actions have made their mark in the History of Guinea pigs...... Everywhere. |
| A shining light of determination and the will to succeed. |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| A giant smile that reached clear across America and who knows where it will end? |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| HMS Avenger will then fire a 21 gun salute, out in the Bay. Followed by a fly past of the PigAir Airline Fleet which will be in the "Missing Man Formation" to honor the Piglets that could not be with us today but who will be in each and every heart that made it to this occasion. |
