Message: Had to smile at the start of the story. I remember well. I know there are some blanks in the story and will be glad to fill in some spots when you have time. Yes one problem after another. Knowing what I know makes you that much more brave for doing what you have done. I was beside myself and never got more than 150 miles off the cost. See you soon!

Message: Dear Charl,
I am so pleased Bev sent this message out. It has been so long since I have seen you, or anyone from STRR. I had no idea you were attempting such a great challenge and now it’s almost completed. You are a brave and heroic man. I always have held you in high esteem and your actions have proved my judgment of your character was not misplaced. I wish you and your family all the best and I pray for your safe return on schedule.
