Hi all,

It's been awhile...I thought I would pop in and update on what I've
been up to for the last year or so since we last talked. I hope
everyone is doing well! I see a lot of familiar faces. :)

I am running my own maid service in S. Virginia since leaving MT and
dealing with aftermath of my husband's injuries in Iraq. But most of
my activities since that time are involved in the news.

As some may know, my husband was on the front page of the Washington
Post for the Walter Reed Scandal. Actually, he was on the front page
again last fall. He is now dubbed "The Face Of Walter Reed".

This past month, the Washington Post received 6 Pulitzer Prizes
including the Public Service Award medal, the highest honor, for their
stories on Walter Reed.

The reporters who did the story also won another award, the Heywood
Broun award. That ceremony will be held next month.

Dan is now retired (as of December) and we are still going strong!
Last week we spent the week in Breckenridge doing adaptive skiing.
Here is an article on that event:

This story has made it in papers across the country.

The big news is that HBO will be here next month to start the script
for the movie they are going to do. They bought the rights to do a
movie based on the articles in the Washington Post.

Stay tuned...it's coming to HBO soon!

Take care,
Torrey, former MT
