We are excited to report that there is a story about us in the March 09 edition of the print version of Passagemaker Magazine. We haven’t seen it yet and have no idea what it says, but we are told that it is a 10-page piece, that there is a tickler about our story on the cover, Kosmos is pictured in the table of contents, and the list of our pre-trip education is on their Internet site. So, it sounds like we have gotten some substantial coverage. Those of you who have a subscription should be getting it in the mail any day now, and it should hit the stands soon.
I just finished reading the article in PM and I felt compelled to write. I am sitting in my office in Dickson, TN (a small town about 40 miles from Nashville, TN, where I live) and I’ve just finished seeing patients for the day. As I got back to my desk, I saw my copy of PM and I picked it up and began to read. I’m 45 almost 46, with a few significant, but chronic health issues, staring at bankruptcy and generally trying to muddle my way through the rest of the day. After reading the article, I was impressed with the amount of work it took to make your dream a reality. As someone who has fantasized about what you are doing, I cannot begin to imagine the discipline and hard work it took to pull this off. I hope you finish safely and will never regret the things you may have delayed in order to do something this meaningful together.
