"You generously continue to send Yellow Wood Notes my way.  I wanted you to know how useful I find it in my Rivers & Trails work in Connecticut.  I frequently follow up on reading recommendations you guys make.  And you have introduced me to concepts (such as learning communities and social capital) that have become integral parts of my tool kit.  Thank you."
