I talked to jason and kira this morning and they
are doing great.  Thay are having fun and paddling
in a great feature a lot.  They just finished the
first of three competitions and Kira made the
finals!!!!  They are at the Nollichucky (spelling?)
now and are getting ready for the second event.  We
all wish them luck!!!  and most of all to have a
good time.  It's the first real vacation they've
had in a very long time.
