Ken
Goldenberg, Philadelphia, Pa ~One August in the year 2005 twelve friends
went into the "wild"- wild forests , wild lakes, wild earth.
At the same time, through their venture into the wild, they came to explore
the "wild" inside of them- certain recesses of their psyche
and emotions, certain unexplored areas of their inner personal selves.
Were these twelve friends in the "wild", or was the "wild"
inside of them? Both. All is one! You and Temagami really made this trip
awesome! You're wonderful and you gave us a wonderful gift- kids and parents
alike!
Hap Wilson and Stephanie Aykroyd (Muskoka , Ontario) ~ Wonderful, brilliant,
earthly, soulful. fabulous time, good cheer, loved it all - heartfelt
thanks for your hospitality and friendship Francesco and Natasha. All
the best.
David
Stark Temagami Coordinator (Toronto , Ontario) ~ Wolf Within, many thanks
from the District 7090 Rotary Outdoor Leadership Experience program. Never
have 75 teenagers had such a wonderful exhilarating experience. I can't
begin to thank you for the joy you brought to these youth exchange kids.
Diane
& Kevin (Philedelphia, PA) ~ It is said that a picture is worth a
thousands words. Eight days in the bush with my son, eight close friends
and you have left me with countless pictures, tangible and otherwise.
Sharing such an intense and rewarding experience with friends and family
created many seminal moments for me. Your wisdom, patience and experience
heightened those moments. I believe you are a rare and, perhaps, dying
type of man and I am truly thankful that my son, and I, have had the opportunity
to go on just one journey with you.
Dan
Doyle (Blackstone , MA) ~ Franco, thank you once again for a great trip.
I think I am now ready for a 10 day trip. Until next year.
Tom
Rathfon Scoutmaster Troop 95 (Georgetown, DE) ~ Franco, I wanted to mail
you and let you know how much fun the boys and leaders had on our canoe
trek. I really appreciate the time you spent working with the boys and
passing on skills. Although they hated going to the back of the line,
they enjoyed being tested for their place in the meal line. Thanks for
taking the time to show us and me places in Temagami I had not had the
chance to see before. Hope all the puppies were healthy and now they will
start to eat you out of house and home. Good luck, your friend.
J.
Spaul (UK) ~ Thank you so much for a REAL wilderness experience - one
which allowed me to learn, observe and be a part of the wonderful creation
that God has given us. It has been everything I expected and much more,
I will remember it forever.
E.
Ratti BG (Italy) ~Vi ringrazio infinitamente per la vostra eccellente
organizzazione e questa avventura che non dimentichero' mai, anzi, conservero'
come uno dei viaggi piu' belli, intensi ed emozionanti della mia vita.
J.Duke
(ON Canada) ~ This was like living a dream or a film script on someone
else's life. Thank you for a wonderful taste of the "real north".
It would be great to come back next week!
