Hope You are Back On Track April 13, 2005 We just finished dinner and enjoyed looking at your photos/journals along the way- it is hard to imagine how difficult it must be. We hope you are staying safe and do not have anymore night visitors. We wish we could send you fresh cakes like the one your team members made before you left. The kids really are amazed at your efforts and journey so far. We are glad you are looking out for each other and your teammate is okay. Take care Myles & Hollenberg Family Hallai !
