I have just sat and read every post on this thread. All i can say is, WOW. I know there are such things as brotherhoods and such, but never ever in my short life have I expirenced anything like this. I commend each and every one of you and wish the best of luck to all of us in what ever mountains may come our way. I am not religious, at all, as a matter of fact you could call my religous outlook, not good, but I do beleive in a higher power, and for whatever that may be, I do hope and pray for each and every person that crosses my path, even those that may not need my help along the way (what ever help that may be). what I do beleive in strongly is human spirit and this thread in and of itself is what human spirit and a friendship and brotherhood is. I have not met any one person in this site(that I am aware of) but please believe me, next time I am out on the water, or standing in the middle of the most beautiful water ever seen by man, and I start to get frustrated, there will be a smile on face because I will be thinking of all of you and what you have done for so many people in this community as well as those many of you help outside of it. If there is anyone who ever needs anything in the Missouri Ozarks, please pm me and I will do everything in my power to help. AND THAT IS A PROMISE.
