Hello my good man James! I have been thinking about you as you count down this great journey you are about to conquer in Mt. Everest. You never cease to amaze me. You are such an inspiration to me and the people that have the privilege to call you a true friend. Bless you and all your fellow Trekkers. I’m so sorry that I can not be there with you in body but I will be there in spirit. I can’t wait to see the video and pics. Have a blast!

Chip,
WOW! I have been following your journey through the papers…pretty inspiring! 30 years ago when we went to the Stray Cats concert, I never thought you would be hanging out with Slim on a mountain! I would love to catch up with you sometime. Good luck and God Bless…

I log on every day to see how it is going for you all. What an inspiration you and all your fellow trekkers are!! I ran across these quotes over the past week and you came to mind……..

“Your calling is where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep need.” - Frederick Buechner

“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.” - Nelson Mandela

Best of luck to you!!
