Yesterday, 3 March, Jane and I visited the Orlando, Florida Amateur Radio Club. I was invited to give a slide presentation on my hike of the Appalachian Trail. The club’s members were an enthusiastic and enjoyable audience and I think we all had a great time. I concluded that I have way too many slides and information to cram into a short presentation time, and I’ll have to work on that for future presentations.

How does one cram six months into forty minutes? It isn’t easy. Fortunately, a number of members did pick up a copy of the book and will be able to get the “whole story” at their leisure. One fellow, Dan, not only bought a copy of the book, he won the door prize, which was also a copy of the book, but I have to admit, he didn’t look disappointed.

Thanks to Diana, “Walky Talky” and others that are leaving comments here and on Amazon.com. I can’t begin to tell you how it pleases me to see readers enjoying themselves with this story.
