From Carol Considine

Hey Willie,
Very happy Big Birthday wishes for you my friend!

Your specialness has been apparent for a long time... Maybe that we both come from big families... and I met your Mom and Dad and a couple sisters... maybe the infrequent but attention getting conversations about deeper things and matters of heart... from pork chops, to Gayo, you've been generous and special. Our last two meetings discussing Africa, shed new light on that specialness. Listening to your wild, harrowing adventure driving unescorted through the streets of Johannesburg's Soweto, had me on the edge of my seat. Having since toured, (most definitely in the company of an escort), through Cape Town's Khayelitsha, your story has more meaning... You are one courageous guy Willie. You inspire me as you've grabbed life by the horns these last few years, and stretched in so many ways... I admire you, and appreciate your example and friendship.

Peace and love,
Carol

p.s. and I have read some of the best quotes ever at the end of your emails. A favorite of mine is from Marcel Proust. "The real voyage of discovery, consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."

Happy Birthday Willie!
