| 11th July 2009 Jenny Gerard | Happy Birthday! - From: Mulanje Massif Happy Birthday - a day early anyway! We were downtown Naperville today and stopped in at Kaehler's. It was a nice reminder of you as the ladies I worked with all asked how your trip was going - your parents apparently shopped there quite a bit for your trip. Sounds like you are have a memorable experience and working hard. Happy 21st tomorrow - probably less significant from the drinking perspective but much more so from the location perspective. We're thinking of you and appreciate the updates on your blog. Have fun but please leave the lovely parasites in Africa! Love, Aunt Jenny |

| 9th May 2009 Dianna Hill | Well, well - From: Chez Ntimbe and Lilongwe Night Life Jon, you are not helping in the "don't worry mom" category. Now, who did you go out with in the first place? How did you end up being the only muzungu in the crowd? Where did friends go? Hmmmm. Take it easy. Take care. |
| 9th May 2009 Ray Hill | Well on your way - From: Introduction to Lilongwe Jon, as close as I can come to going to a different restaurant is having dinner today with Dianne and Owen, and a young lady from China. But tomorrow we are going to your "old house" and have dinner with your mom and dad, however Uncle Scott is cooking for us and you know what an experience that can be. Stay safe and be careful where you sit, old coke cases are good. Papa |
| 9th May 2009 Chris | - From: Chez Ntimbe and Lilongwe Night Life Was Dean there? All of these stories mentally include Dean and I'm not sure if I should continue along that line of thinking, given the content... |
| 8th May 2009 Ray Hill | Just getting started - From: One Week Out Jon, as you embark on this journey make sure you take the time to put all that you will see, hear and experience in perspective. Few of us have the opportunity to come face-to-face with another culture. To walk in the "other persons" shoes. Just keep everythi ng in balance. The project you are working on, Sustainable Development, is what it is all about. All to often we have a desire to "cut to the chase" and solve the problem right now, when the solution is a process that can be sustained, never more true that when feeding the population. Stay safe and keep that wonderful outlook, Papa |
| 6th May 2009 Christy Lindner | - From: London hahaha I think the groans in Gran Torino was the best/funniest part of the movie! I'm a bit behind in reading your blogs cause I just got back from Italy last night, but I'm glad its going well thus far!! Miss you Jon! |
| 6th May 2009 Bettie Hill (Oma) | Bon voyage - From: One Week Out Jon, We just returned from our trip to Atlanta, several activities during the week including a lovely wedding and a very green project of a parking garage Uncle Todd opened at the Botanical Gardens. It is LEEDS certified, the only one to date in Atlanta. Hopefully it will help with the carbon levels on earth! This will be quite an adventure for you, take care of yourself, our love and prayers everyday are with you. Oma |

| 28th April 2009 Jennifer Gerard | What I'd Like to Hear... - From: Prep Stuff I'd be very interested to hear what surprises you - on the flip side, what was it you expected or didn't realize you expected, until the situation surprised you. And...I wouldn't be a teacher without adding, "What did you learn?". We'll be thinking of you and keeping up with you. Thanks for committing to this and sharing with everyone your experience. Love, Aunt Jenny |
| 27th April 2009 Gil Gehle | Good on Ya! - From: One Week Out Greatest of luck, adventure and good will to you Jon! The world needs more like you! Uncle Gil |
| 25th April 2009 David Meyer | Safe travels - From: One Week Out Hey Jon just wanted to wish you a safe trip and let you know that I'll be following your blog. What exactly are you going to be doing in Malawi? I found out yesterday that I'm probably going to Albania next fall to work at the U.S. Embassy and having a travel blog of my own seems like a good idea, so thanks for the inspiration :) |
| 14th April 2009 Brad | Things I'd LIke to See... - From: Prep Stuff If you could just make your blog as similar to Blinowes' blog as possible that'd be great. His is extremely well written and coherent....smoak. |
