Mickey moved away, and Bill Cox, who I'd known since grade school, passed away this last winter, so Dan and I will take over the minor repairs, and Myra and her husband will continue packing and mailing the guitars," Eddie said. Dan and Eddie, both retired from the base, play guitar locally and their tips are used to support the mission. Myra relies on donations of materials, instruments and money to hold up the shipping end of the program. Dan and Eddie make it perfectly clear that Myra and Harry are the "hearts" of an organization whose impact has been felt locally and globally. Myra proudly acknowledges the awards they have received through the years: • The Houston-Middle Georgia Chapter of the American Red Cross presented the 2008 Hero of Middle Georgia Award in the Good Samaritan Category to Myra Foskey on March 6, 2008. • The Houston-Peach Branch of the American Association of University Women presented the 2008 Eleanor Granum Volunteer of the Year Award to Myra Foskey on May 13, 2008. • The Sukey Hart Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, Warner Robins, presented Myra Foskey with the group's Community Service Award on Feb. 17, 2010. • The 2011 EDIMGIAFAD (Every Day In Middle Georgia Is Armed Forces Appreciation Day) Award for Support to the Armed Forces was presented to Myra Foskey on June 16, 2011, during the Robins Air Force Base 70th Birthday Celebration held at the Museum of Aviation.
