I loved your Be Brave, Be Strong book. It is even on my short list of books with a "lasting impression" tagged on Goodreads.

Enjoying these, Jill. I remember appreciating your voice in the discussions over cell phones, TD/GDR and such. Unlike some of the contemporaries, I valued 'outside' opinion, especially when it was well stated, as yours always was.

I remember being torn as you were -- I felt loyalty and attachment to the GDR for all the inspiration it had given me. But I could see that Matthew actually had the enthusiasm for the route and the race, and was (mostly) making logical arguments. It took me a while to come around fully on it and I think I sat in the middle for a while wondering why we couldn't all get along, ha.
