Hi there Everyone.
I thought this was a good email about friendship.

NAILS IN THE FENCE

Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.

(Most importantly the last sentence)

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger,the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.

He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, 'You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. But It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound will still be there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Remember that friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us.'

It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you! If it comes back to you, you will then know you have a circle of friends.

YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED!

Now send this to every friend you have!! And to your family (they need to know that you love them too).

Please forgive me if I have ever left a 'hole' in your fence.

Remains Are Found at Fossett Crash Site

Published: October 2, 2008 The New York Times MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif. — A day after discovering the wreckage of the plane flown by the millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett when he disappeared 13 months ago, investigators said Thursday that they had found small amounts of human remains at the crash site, a rugged and lonely mountainside in the Sierra Nevada of east-central California.

Mark V. Rosenker, the acting chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, confirmed the finding, saying that while the remains were “very little,” he believed that Mr. Fossett’s identity could be confirmed genetically.

“I believe the coroner will be able to do some work,” Mr. Rosenker said.

Mr. Fossett’s aircraft was discovered Wednesday in a remote area of Inyo National Forest, about 120 miles south of the Nevada ranch where he departed on Sept. 3, 2007. Mr. Fossett, a renowned aviator, had said he was going on a brief flight but never returned, and the transponder on his aircraft did not send off any location signals. At his wife’s request, Mr. Fossett, 63, was declared legally dead in February by a judge in Chicago.

Mr. Rosenker said parts of the transponder had been found, along with other pieces of Mr. Fossett’s plane, in a debris field some 150 feet wide and 400 feet long. Initial indications are that the plane hit a mountain, at an altitude of about 10,100 feet and then burst into flame, investigators said. There was no sign the plane had been on fire before the crash, Mr. Rosenker said, but the plane’s engine was found 300 feet from the fuselage, which indicated an intense impact.

The wreckage lay in an area so remote that it required a 45-minute hike from the nearest path up steep hills, said the director of the Nevada Division of Emergency Management, Gary Derks, who visited the site and led the five-week search last fall for Mr. Fossett. About 30 investigators and other recovery personnel were on the scene, with representatives from the Inyo County Sheriff’s Department camping overnight in frigid temperatures to protect the scene.

The region where the plane wreckage was found had been flown over repeatedly during the search last year, but Mr. Derks said the area was dense, mountainous forest where something as small as a two-seat light aircraft would be easy to overlook.

On Thursday, searchers were still looking near the crash site with dogs trained to locate cadavers, but Mr. Derks said it was unlikely that any significant remains would be found.

“If they are, it’ll be a miracle,” he said, citing the passage of time, the rough winter and the presence of animals in the area.

Mr. Rosenker said weather would most likely become a factor in the next 24 hours, as autumn’s first major Pacific rains moved onshore, with the expectation of high winds, freezing rain and even snow at the crash site. But investigators hoped to airlift all debris off the mountain before that.

Mr. Fossett took off alone from the Flying-M Ranch in Yerington, Nev., in a blue-and-white Bellanca Citabria Super Decathlon, a single-engine two-seater. The ranch is a retreat for wealthy anglers and fliers. On Monday, a hiker, Preston Morrow, came across several of Mr. Fossett’s identification cards, some money and a tattered fleece pullover in some bushes in the Mammoth Lakes region. Mr. Morrow reported his findings on Tuesday, and a search began on Wednesday, when a pilot spotted the wreckage.

Mr. Fossett held numerous world records. He was the first person to circumnavigate the world solo in a hot-air balloon and the first to fly a plane solo around the globe without refueling. His close friend Richard Branson had said Mr. Fossett was most likely flying around the Yerington area looking for dry lake beds in which to challenge the world’s land-speed record.

In a statement, Mr. Fossett’s wife, Peggy V. Fossett, thanked the searchers and the hiker who found his belongings.

“The uncertainty surrounding my husband’s death over this past year has created a very difficult situation for me,” Mrs. Fossett said. “I hope now to be able to bring to closure a very painful chapter in my life.”
