It may be hard to believe, but the Family Partnership Center is holding a “Cheese & Wine & Steve” evening on October 9th and the speaker is yours truly. I did suggest that it might be a good idea to wait and see if I actually finish the hike, but they seem to have confidence in me, so it’s on.
I know this is really only accessible for locals, but it would be great to see as many of you as possible to be able to thank you personally for the great support you’ve given me on this adventure.
The details are below, so all I need to do now is to hike another 650 miles and I’ll be done. Not a problem!

I, personally, wouldn’t worry about it. My book club latched on to this event to support the charity but I and, probably we .totally get the challenges involved in what you’re doing. At the end of the day, you’re a winner for what you’ve hiked and I wouldn’t worry about any of it. You do what you do and you hope that the best all shakes out and THAT is a a rule that seems to apply to all of us and I don’t believe that I’ve walked anywhere! LOL
I’m not really worried; that was more tongue in cheek than anything else. I’m actually looking forward to it.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU’RE A GREAT, I’M SURE THE OTHER 650 MILES, WILL BE A PIECE OF CAKE..GOD BLESS YOU, CUNADO! Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2014 22:04:03 +0000 To: lilliamgonzalez45@live.com
Thanks Lil. Everything going well and looking forward to getting home. Xx
I sent your link to Ben Montgomery, author of Grandma Gatewood’s Walk, who lives in Tampa. He says he will make the shindig!
That’s great. Thanks for the help in making this a success.
Really am becoming rather proud of my mate here !
You know you’ll make it to the end of the hike OK – not sure about the public speaking !
Sorry I can’t be there to cheer you on , and to share a glass with you.
Keep well
Steve
