Fantastic! Meeting Fauci! And happy belated birthday to you as well. I think are very brave and adventurous too.

Hi Rachel
Happy belated birthday!
I lived in Hamilton from late 1984-1988 while doing my postdoctoral studies at Rocky Mountain Labs, part of the NIH NIAID. Tony Fauci had just been named director of NIAID and I remember him coming to visit the labs.
I didn't know too many people in Missoula, but we would go up for movies, restaurants and the requisite visit to Freddy's Feed and Read. It was my first time living in the northwest and I was enthralled with the open spaces and adventurous spirit.
Best wishes on your GDMBR trip - it should be an epic ride. You're a braver soul than me!!

Hi Susan,
In researching the GDMBR for our ride next year, I came across these two pages. Mostly though, I lived in Missoula MT from 1983 to 1988, thinking we may know some of the same people? (I celebrated my 71 year birthday this year)

Safe travels, Susan. I know I’ve said this before but I’ve so enjoyed following along on your trip. Lots of cool places to add to my list of cycling destinations. I hope you don’t mind copycats - we’ll be retracing some of your routes next year (fingers crossed).

Thanks Scott - see my reply above to Rachaels post. I definitely recommend a return visit, and I’d be happy to show you around a bit should the occasion arise.

Thanks Rachael. Because I’ve spent so much time here I’ve had the luxury of getting beyond the usual “hot spots”, or seeing those “hot spots” from different perspectives, at different times of the year. The city never fails to surprise and delight me.

OK, Susan. This was effective. We haven’t been to Paris since 1996. It must be about time to return.

I really enjoyed seeing all the different sides of Paris! It’s been a long time since we’ve been there. I can see why you love it so much.
