July 1, 2011 - Rick Thie
Cruising for the Cure is a classic wooden boat show that benefits pancreatic cancer research. Mel sits down with Rick Thie of Cruising for the Cure and talks about his mom Jane Thie, the inspiration for the boat show and the Jane H. Thie Memorial fund. Mel is on the board of directors of Cruising for the Cure, and is a fan of wooden boats, so being a part of this organization is near and dear to her heart.
