I'm very proud of you and the Paddy Wagon Team. It was fun waiting at Diamond Head with Nick and Lexie to see the finish. You guys were really moving! Sorry it was too dark to get a picture, but we got a good one of you at the dock.

Debbie, Nick, Lexie and I are looking forward to visiting with you.

Call me and let me know how you are doing or if you have any questions about Waikiki.

Love

Uncle Tim, Aunt Debbie, Nick and Lexie

To Eric:
Subject: Sweet

When you were 36” tall I remember the look on your face when someone mentioned the word boat. Today when I look at your finishing line photo I see that same look of passion on the face of a man. I wouldn’t be a good Aunt if I didn’t ask: where is your life jacket?

Job well done Heim!
Love Aunt Martha
