Dear Katy and Scott,

Greg just forwarded to me your blog and I have been reading it through for the last hour. Very emotional for so many reasons. If it were just a vacation, it would be a fantastic journey. Given your mission, it adds a huge emotional element to the story. Speaking for myself only (but I suspect that it is the same for most of the readers), it is very special for me to read through this. All the emotions and experiences and stories of your trip and the references to and from all of your many friends all draw us to you. We can never really take this journey with you but vicarious experience is a huge bond.

Scott, thank you for your courage and your spirit. Katy, thank you for your strength and support….and for including all of your soul mates around the world in this journey.

Love you both,

Robert Frehling
