Secondly, I'd like to thank Tessa Vellek for her caring nature, her giving spirit, and her methodical drive in raising awareness of good causes. I guess Ann and I must have done something right, so far!

Thirdly, with respect for the results - this was our first attempt at this, so count us in as rank amateurs. I apologize in advance for any mistakes or misspellings, but we did the best we could. We had the best volunteers on the course, taking pictures, at registration, passing out t-shirts, handing out food and drinks, setting up and tearing down, and at the start/finish line.

Fourthly, lets all give thanks to Amanda! What a kind spirit. She has the determination some of us could only dream about.

Lastly, there were several items left behind - if you would please contact me I'll return them:

• 1 blue shirt, St. John's Bay, size petite
• 1 pair of sunglasses, brown in a somewhat battered Pearle case
• 1 pair of ankle weights, Danskin, 2.5 lbs

here are some pictures of the event
