I have to apologize for leaving the Hayw...Hey Mark!<br />I have to apologize for leaving the Hayward area without stopping in amnd saying goodbye. As usual, your minisrty team provided a great worship experience for Bev and I. Bev's need to stay close to her doctors in Mpls. made it necessary for us to stay in the Twin City area at my son's house until now. We leave for Florida on Sunday.<br />I notice your reference to Sigurd Olson's comments on winter and it brings me back 60 years when I was guiding canoe trips North of Ely. Mn. into the Quetico National forest. A fellow guide and I were in Ely for a weekend off when we met Sigurd Olson as he was signing up people to promote a cause he had started called "The Friends of the Wilderness". He gave us his spiel and signed us up and we were among the first 100 people that he talked to. It since has become an "old memory" without much clout but he was a terrific salesman for this passion he had for the woods.<br />I have since read many of his writings and am always impressed with his deep love for "God's magnificant handiwork".<br />Greet your staff for me and wish them all a very merry Christmas!<br />Tuck AakerTuck Aakernoreply@blogger.com
