I know this is way off topic, but, I'm in Afghanistan and have not had any luck getting in to my email and wonder if someone in the 559 area code would be willing to give my mom a call just to tell her I'm OK and Merry Christmas.Her name is Mary and the number is 559-708-8034 this is a cell and she doesn't retreive messages, so if you don't get a person, don't bother with a message. If someone in the 775 code could do the same with a friend named Donna that would all be very cool her number is 775-846-3651
BTW the mountains her look very cool, wish I could be up there hikin' in 'em, cheers, Keith

Hey Mazman,

I am in the 714 area code but would have no problem sending a bell to anyone you would like. Funny thing is my name is also Keith so that might freak them out but the decision is yours. Post back and let me know if there is any other message and I will make the calls and then post back.

Have a happy and safe Christmas,

K

Hi, Keith!

Saw your message...

Mission accomplished

I am a "five five niner" and couldn't help but get invovled. Duty calls again!

I spoke with your mother this morning (12-23-09) at around 0720 PT.

She was a little apprehensive at first when we talked like "who in the H**L is this?" I told her my name and she said "I don't know anyone by that name." I asked her if she knew a "mazman" then, duh, I told her your name.

Anyhow, I told her you posted a message and was having problems accessing emails. I read to her the message you posted.

I told her I work in Fresno and I live in Coarsegold.

From the sound of her voice, she is a remarkable woman. Hope I didn't rattle her too much with my phone call from a total stranger.

Be safe out there and God's speed on your safe return. If any of your fighting hole buddies is having the same problem contacting a loved one here in CONUS (especially in the 559 area), you may "fire when ready" and "fire for effect." We are all here to help.

Shoot a PM if you can. If there is anything we can do for you or your mother and family, we are right here "locked and cocked and ready to rock." You say "JUMP," we ask, "How high?"

Merry Christmas!
Semper fidelis...


Journey well...

Mazman, just left a message for Donna, told her all is well and you weren't getting emails and said to say "Merry Christmas."

You have our gratitude. Be safe and be successful.

Semper Fi.

Tell it to the Marines!

Give us a mission and we will accomplish it! No questions asked. Send that "Message to Garcia."

Semper fi, Tourbillon

Merry Christmas.

Ooh-rah.

Have since talked to Donna. Very complimentary toward you. Very relieved to hear things are OK.

She has my name and number. After you return we'll go for a climb some time.

Gary -

I knew you'd come through! Merry Christmas from Dances with Koyotes and Ashley. May you and your family be blessed with good health and happiness this new year.

Actually, the same goes to everyone here on the Board!

Thanks, 2d, I can't express how much this means. It's a bit strange that I can't get to email but can here. Thanks a second time for the kind words about my Mom.
Thanks Tourbillon.
Wish you all aMerry Christmas.
Keith
