Very cool story

[Guest guest]

Hi, all. This is a story from our 4 PAWS group. Not only is it an amazing

story, but, as Shaugn said, it really shows that Autism knows no bounds.

I am a little excited so I want to share with all of you.

Back in 2001 my husband & I spend over a year @ the South Pole Station

in Antarctica. That is my only claim to fame. I am one of only 156

woman to have ever wintered @ the Pole. That is so beside the point

though.

So their were 50 of us down @ the station when we were there. 3 of

these guys we wintered with in 2001 are currently down their now. Oh,

I should explain winter in Antarctica first. Summer is late Oct. to

Feb. 14th. In the summer full all the time. There is one full month of

sunset in March & one full month of Sunrise in Sept. Winter includes

sunrise & sunset & 24 hours a day for five months. Winter starts on

Feb. 14th, this is when the last plane leaves the Pole. The first

plane to return is late October. Although when we were there in was

two weeks longer then expected because 9-11 happened and the air guard

was too busy to come get us right away.

So this year I believe there is 54 people wintering. Steffen is his

name and he has a very cool website with a page tear for Trapper and

4 Paws. I didn't even know what this was until I saw his site.

The site is <http://www.adventure-antarctica.de/>

Well, he is taking donations at the South Pole! He wrote me this

morning and said he called to see if she received his donation.

I wonder if she realized where he was calling from? He was on a

Satellite phone on the bottom of the earth.

He also collected another $100 donation this morning and is trying to

get even more before sending it on it's way to 4 Paws in honor of Trapper.

I just have to smile when I think these wonderful people are fund

raising to help our son @ literately the ends of the earth.

Knowing this just brightened my day today.

I love hearing about all of you who are getting ready to introduce

your children to their dogs. I can only imagine how excited you all

are. I cannot wait to hear all about it!

God Bless.
