Thank You

Well it is almost time to say goodbye. Today is my last day at work and on Friday I'll be leaving for training in Colorado. Before I go I thought it would be appropriate to give a big thank you to all the great people that have helped me along the way. Without these people this would not have been possible.

Thank you:

• Buddy Marsh for giving me this great idea and also for all the help you gave me with the move. You are a great friend with a great family.
• Nancy O'Brien, Tammy White, Todd Wright, Jaime Robertson (Miles), Amber Morse for giving me a great reference in order to get the job.
• Big Skip and Linda for helping with countless trips with my junk and organizing the storage unit.
• Wanda Huff and Wise Rokobili for your support as I learn to entertain, open mics in Antarctica will never be the same.
• Thank you to all the great people who have helped me over the years including the great people at Vermont Adaptive, the friendly Vermont Cavers, high school and collage friends, soccer buddies, and drinking buddies.
• Most off all the great O'Brien family for letting me live with them and become part of their family. Your love and support is greatly appreciated and I will never forget it. Thank you Ian for letting me be your big brother and read you books at night. Cavan, you were the first baby I've ever held. Nancy, you make a great southwestern apple crisp. Sean, you grow the best vegtables around.

I'm sure I have forgotten others, but I assure you, everything is appreciated. The next steps are CO on Friday, I leave for New Zealand on Sunday, and will leave for the McMurdo Station next Thursday. Thank you EVERYONE!
