[nagdu] stepper's steps over!

[Steve Johnson]

Oh, Stepper,

You have not disappointed us at all, but rather inspired all of us to have
the same enthusiasm and great attitude to pursue those things that make one
not want to give up.  Thanks for that as each one of us will face similar
choices one day.

I also want to commend the school as they seemed awesome in their support of
you in going on this quest.  You may have left without a guide, but you came
back with something so much more valuable.

Your friends,

Steve & Misha

Hello to all listers.
I am informing the members of this list that I discovered I just didn't
have, one the stamina, two, The condission of my back, left arm, left hip,
left leg, left foot,  made it impossible.
I couldn't make it through Juno exercises, I never recieved a dog. I never
really recovered from the trip of two air planes, two hours wait times to
take off or land, and close to an hour ride out to the school, and a hour
and a half wait at the air port so all the students could go to gdb in one
trip.
The staff couldn't have been more understanding.
I have been home a week now, and today was the first time I was able to go
for a walk for about a half an hour.
I gave it everything I had, it wasn't enough.
I am so disapointed, but I can not change what is.
Thank you for all your kind remarks, before I left.
Stepper
