Liba, I was very fortunate to meet Jim at Hot Springs, NC. I thought I'd ease your mind and let you know that he looked happy and healthy! I was trying to attach some pictures of him so you can see for yourself but I'm not sure I know how... I met Jim and the rest of the AT hikers when my group set up camp next to them. It was such a treat to meet each person and hear about his/her journey. Jim said wonderful things about you and your amazing patience thoughout this processes. Jim, you made a huge impression on the group of us! We talked about you the rest of the trip as if you were a lifelong friend to each of us. I don't know that I can actually put into words the impact you've made on me but I know that it's been profound. I feel blessed to have met you and I feel that I'm a better person having been given the opportunity to see life through your eyes. I was awake when you packed up and left camp Saturday morning. I noticed you walking away through the trees and I felt a pange of sadness. Anna told me that she missed our new friends... I hope we will all cross paths again! Please give my best to Freckles, Sprite, Wavepool, Spring Loaded and Papa Sarge if you see them again. Tell them AAA, Keys, Tickets, False Alarm and Spreadsheet say hello! Take care of yourself! Sincerely, Virginia from Hot Springs
