I'm Jerry, a Maincoon cat & I was lost in Ketchum for 5 days. To all my angels who helped rescue me, I thank you! Especially to Holly Blair, Peter Mowat, Margaret Stewart, Linda Lord-Johnson, the Ketchum police & SVAC. I'm now safe, well-fed & happy to be back on The Board Ranch. Meow! That's a big thank-you in cat talk. ~Jerry

Thank you to Lisa Krueger (of Hummingbird Laughs Free). You have a gift of being able to be there when needed with just the right tools in your toolbox to help people get out of their "energetic jams". Imagine what society might be like if everyone learned how to manage their energy in such a way as to lessen the struggles of life. I thank you, my Friend, for teaching me some of those tools and for caring enough to be there. Love, PAT

•Volunteers from St. Lukes nursing staff including Barb Sargent, Becki Lee, Karen Morrison and Deborah Hartmann.
