[Kathy in Alaska]

My goodness...she had quite the adventure. Something about lemons and lemonade.

But it sounds like she met a young gentleman that helped the “missed” parts of her trip go easier, AND have someone to share with.

Glad she is safely home...but already on another “mission”.

[ConorMacNessa]

Yes, another mission - this one much shorter and not so far from home - she's about two hours away. The first year she did this one she was only 15 - I had to drive her down myself. It's a project that is near and dear to our hearts. I may have mentioned on the Canteen that my son David was diagnosed with a soft-tissue cancer in 1999, when he was 5 years old. The Special Love Camps and Weekends were a great support to us during his treatment and after. Mary has stayed with it as a counselor - I think she has an innate affinity to people in need. She has done well in this, in the African missions and in projects at St. Joe's for the developmentally challenged.

We are very proud of her.
