Mike, Larry, and Lee: Wanted to thank you and your Salt Lake City team again. [We] both know that a great deal of work was done behind the scenes.... I don't recall if we thanked the food team. These out-of-towners appreciated all the hard work done by many. Thanks for letting us
join your group. Also wanted to make sure that if you need additional funds [for] a great trip, please let us know. Stay in touch.

Mike: I just wanted to say what a nice job you did putting the river trip together. I look forward to doing it again. How about next month? That's only half joking. If you hear of any other trips, please let me know. You have me turned on to the river. Again, Nice Job. Take three atta-boys out of stock.

Mike, Lee, and Larry: Thank y'all so very Very VERY much for such a wonderful time. I hope y'all will allow me again next year, though I think I probably didn't do my share of work. I meant to and wanted to, but I'm not very good at seeing what needs to be done. I hope (maybe) I
helped make up for it when we returned the rafts and equipment to [the rental shop]. I'm not sure how, but if you will have me another year, I hope my wife will come.... Please pass on my Thanx to Lee [and wife] for being such very nice, generous hosts. ...both gave me a very fine
introduction to [Salt Lake City]. Lee was quite a guide, from the...mountains to the fine Mexican and other restaurants...and ever so much more. They are very nice people, and Very Generous of their time. Thank you! ...the trip will always be a very special time in my life....

Mike and Larry: I just wanted to let you know what a great time I had on the river trip this year. I really want to go again.... I can hardly wait. ...Again thank you for the wonderful trip and the chance to meet all the wonderful people who went this year....

Hi, Mike and Larry: Just a note to let you know I made it home OK.... I had a great time and enjoyed the river and people... I can not think of a better way to have enjoyed the picturesque Green River than to be naked.... Having not previously known any of the other participants I feel
helped in allowing everyone to be more at ease. Keep me posted on your other trips you may plan.

DL and LL

Mike and Larry: Thanks for putting together such a good trip. We are looking forward to next year.

Dear Mike and Larry: Just wanted to shoot you an email to thank you again for a wonderful raft trip. Your planning, organizing and company was greatly appreciated.

Larry and Mike: I just wanted to thank you for organizing such a wonderful trip. It was a great event, and I'm very glad I was able to take part. I definitely plan to attend next year. See you at the picture party.

Mike: The trip...was a great experience, and I would heartily recommend it to anyone. The weather was nearly ideal, the river and canyon setting was beautiful was beautiful, but I think that it was the people in our group that made this a truly memorable vacation. I think the fifteen of us
"clicked" incredibly well, and I hope many of us maintain contact. I'd like to especially thank you and Larry for doing so much of the ground work for the trip.

... Many, many thanks for doing so much work in getting the Deso trip together. It's the best vacation I've ever taken.... Wish I could make the photo party. It would be great to see everyone again. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to the food committee (great job!), and to
everyone who worked the day after, cleaning up the rafts, and getting everything back to the [equipment rental shop]. I hope I can swing it next year.

WH

Hi Mike: Thanks for putting me up for the night and all your hard work associated with the trip.

DL and LL

Larry and Mike: Have we any idea about rafting dates next year? Is [JR] going to repeat the trip? If so, is he willing to write a story to publish this year's trip experiences as an ad for next year's trip? He is a real good writer. Just a thought.

SJ

Mike: When is the river rafting trip suppose to take place this year? I am hot to trot and ready to go. If there is any information that you need from me, please let me know and I will get it to you ASAP. I had such a good time last year, I really want to make it this year also.... Can't wait to hear from you.
