Thanks for a wonderful, most moving hour back with a most special "friend"!

This show brings tears to my eyes. Mark, thank you for this wonderful retrospective and musical rememberence of Walkin Jim. Many of us are working to make sure his music and books will be available for future generations. Wonderful show. Great interview questions and song selections. Keep up the Great Work! Blessings and best for your ministry of love, Joyce Rouse "Earth Mama"

Last night in my wakeful hours, I was thinking of the energy you have for the Spirit in Action interview. You are a powerful interview-er and are able to get the essence of the person you honor with your sensitive approach.

I could not help but be on the trail with Scott, Leslie and Jim's sister, the great girl scout. I loved hearing your conversations and bringing out his fascinating adventures and great gentleness and ohhhhhhhhh, his grizzly voice and harmonica return Big Sky memories of Walkin' Jim. I was singing and humming along with you all in your Wisconsin gathering and I saw you smiling and weeping. Thank you very much.

I met Walkin' Jim in 1993 at a National Trails Symposium in Missoula, Montana. We became very good friends, and I was privileged to join him for two different segments of his Yellowstone-to-Yukon hike. I believe that this program did an amazing job of capturing the essence, or soul, of Walkin' Jim. Much credit goes to Leslie, Susan and Scott for doing such an amazing job...I know that the hurt of losing Jim is still very fresh for all of them. Mark, you did a wonderful job of pulling all of this together into such a dynamic, beautiful presentation. Thanks for an amazing program.

wonderful to learn of this web site and the efforts that go into such interviews. Jim Stoltz a dear friend will be perpetuated in spirit by the wild wind and shows like this. thank you so much truly the value is precious.
