I am impressed - was not aware that I was a friend (or at least acquaintance) of a published author. Nice job on the article - would be even better if the link to the RinkRake article worked.
Thank you for finally sending something you've written in, after almost 10 years of me bugging you to do it. I am so proud of you!! Congratulations on your first publication. Love, Deb

Well-done. Now do I get to be family member of the month for December?
I am thinking velvet smoking jacket and pipe for inside book cover!!! Ok I know I am jumping ahead but that is what I do...the first step was the newspaper article...;) Excellent job Scoot!!! xoxoxo Dusk
I wish they had digital camera's 'back in the day'... I would love to include a picture of you when you started out skating on that little pond in the woods near your house : )
You have come a long way man !!
I always knew you would be published some day, using big words like quagmire and such...
How amazing scooter. We are all very impressed over here in Switzerland!
Love Kim
I, of course, went online to read the article so I didn't have to deal with the link . . . I am so happy to have been an influence on you and your writing . . . must be in our genes - oh, wait a minute I am not related to you. I am certain that you would be happy to announce that I had absolutely zero influence on you.
Your mother-in-law and I enjoyed the article and have always appreciated your writing style.
