For those interested, Croasdale Village is a Rehabilitation Center/Retirement Center, just north of I-85 from the Hillandale Road exit (exit 174) as I-85 passes through Durham.  For those familiar with I-85, that's the area just west of the major construction project, near the 15-501 exit. Hillandale Road is the principal "Duke Hospital" exit from I-85.

Anybody passing through the area should include a stop to see our old friend.  It's just 5 minutes from I-85 and a visit might be just the ticket to inspire him to push harder.  Claude expended significant efforts over many years toward ARES and NTS in NC as a leader and a mentor.  It's time for us to "give back" a little.

(The I-85 interchange at Hillandale Rd. is undergoing construction and these directions may vary a bit, depending on the construction activities.)
