I remember how wobbly I was after a week cruise so I can't imagine what it must have been after the length of time you were at sea.<BR/><BR/>Hope this finds you on your way back to the States and 'home' in just a few days. How many welcome home parties have been planned so far?! <BR/><BR/>You are an amazing person and one who deserves lots of attention for your accomplishments as well as your reason for doing it. Here's hoping the donations really start rolling in soon and you will far surpass your original goal of $500,000!<BR/><BR/>You're incredible!!<BR/><BR/>A Friend of K-RockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687581172447454797.post-25049727146647588032009-04-02T17:02:00.000+01:002009-04-02T17:02:00.000+01:00Hooray!

My students and I continued to follow your progress, and we are ecstatic that you made it back to dry land safely and are enjoying some well-deserved time with friends and family. As one of my eighth graders said, “He’s earned all the burgers he can eat!” We are awed by your accomplishment and inspired by your commitment to this wonderful cause. Thank you for being such an incredible role model. Congratulations, Paul! <BR/>Sincerely, <BR/>Mrs. B. and her eighth grade studentsMrs. B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687581172447454797.post-89559018594108004182009-04-02T16:15:00.000+01:002009-04-02T16:15:00.000+01:00Hi All - Did I say I was done writing?

It was like being in the pit at the end of an Indy race - hugging, flash-bulbs, hugging,crying,champagne, hugging!Just amazing. And all the while thanking God and all of you wonderful supporters of Row for Hope for making it a safe and happy home-coming. The Row Team is more than aware that as much praying as rowing went into the success of the trip.Please stay with us - there's more work to do. Right up until we left for the airport, I was on the dock at English Harbor narrating the Row story and pitching the cause to curious folks who stopped to look at Liv resting comfortably in the water.We'll be trying to set up some Binghamton and state-side events in the near future - stay tuned for information! And Thank,you, thank you all again for your support and prayers.KR and #1WM - The Tomics, Binghamtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687581172447454797.post-16985386538721680912009-04-02T15:47:00.000+01:002009-04-02T15:47:00.000+01:00Was browsing Twitter and I somehow landed here.
