I just finished encouraging a couple of my oldest, dearest friends Drs. Gerry Thomas and wife Beth Collings, who spend a lot of time on Molokai, to contact you. I told them that you used to encourage me to winter with you on the ranch, but it was during those years when the rich adventure that was the pioneering Iditarod was absorbing my full attention, time and resources. Here and there through the years I've kept loose track of you and remain a fan of your work. Hope your knee replacement went well. A couple days ago X-rays confirmed what I had long suspected, that I need a new hip. Even so I carried my full pack and kept up with my two eldest sons (25 &26)while on a long pack in for moose last month. Loved, simply loved your encouragement to follow your excitement! God has blessed us each with special talents and He sees to it that we are able to find His gifts not only by what we are good at, but what lights our fire. It's taken me a lifetime to conclude that I am, even more than a hunter and fisherman, adventurer and entrepreneur, a storyteller. Very niche y, but my passion is for what I call "Romantic Old North." You might like to check out my very simple, friend-built website to see where following my excitement has led me. By the way, after reading one of my works, Pete and Claudia recently wrote. Best to you, old friend, Rod Hi Rik! I just finished encouraging a couple of my oldest, dearest friends Drs.
