"The neighbors have always questioned my sanity but after Freckles (my Cocker Spaniel) and I went out and did the wind dance for you we almost got hit by lightening out of nowhere followed by windgusts and a half inch of rain. Hope it worked for you -- learned of all of you out there through a former student (Polar Bear) and have been following you all and keeping an eye on you. God Speed!" - Ken J.
"Persistence and creativity pay off - your story, effort, and ingenuity are inspirations to us all." - Barry D.
