Hi Ron

We haven’t had the opportunity to meet (yet) but I wanted to let you know how you’ve inspired me through your photos. I came across your “Jean’s Marines” photo stories quite by accident while searching for something on the internet and must say the slide show brought me to tears and gave me the ‘kick in the butt’ I needed.

You really portrayed the emotion, dedication and down right fun all these wonderful ladies experienced in 2005. I must admit at times I was a little sad to not be a part of something so wonderful….I will change this in 2006 with thanks to you.

You showed me something that I would never have experienced otherwise. I do hope that you will continue to post your pictures of this spectacular group through 2006 and in turn continue to motivate others such as myself. I only wish that I lived closer to the city so that I too could join this wonderful group and partake in the support that you share with one another.

Congratulations on your marathon achievement.

Thank you for giving me the motivation. I have since joined the Running Room and someday hope to join the small percentage that can proudly say …. I am a marathoner…..thanks to your wonderful photos I know it’s a possibility.

Proudly running (ummm…shuffling slowly but improving) with a smile,

Michelle

Wikipedia
Wikipedia is a multilingual Web-based free-content encyclopedia wiki service. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers, allowing most articles to be changed by anyone with access to a web browser. The project began on January 15, 2001, as a complement to the expert-written Nupedia and is now operated by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipedia has more than 3,210,000 articles, including more than 950,000 in the English-language version, and as of January 2006 it has more than 863,000 registered users. Since its inception, Wikipedia has steadily risen in popularity,[1] and its success has spawned several sister projects. There has, however, been controversy over its reliability.
