I'm a bit teary-eyed at this good news.
I don't know you Ken, but I've been thinking of you a lot the last couple of days.
So awesome for everyone involved - big smiles, big smiles...

I just posted this info on Sgt. Rock's Hiking HQ (in answer to my previous post) and on the Trail Journals forum, also on nwhikers.net where the subject had also come up. That's three less forums to notify.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

"it was the best of times, it was the worst of times;..."

and the rest of the opening lines of "A Tale of Two Cities:"
"... it ws the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way."
