Hi, this is Todd Hellman calling in with an update for Dr. J and The Generators, Alpine Ascents team 6.

We had a carry to 16.2 today, to move our cache up there. Weather has gotten better, wind has subsided, we're in a position to move our camp to 17.2 tomorrow, a rest day the day after, and hopefully, weather permitting, try for the summit the day after that.

I'd just like to say a quick hello to my wife Sue and my children, Kyle, Meghan and Caitlin, I love you and miss you a ton. Thanks for letting me come on this adventure. Now I'm going to pass the phone to Marshall.

"Hello, this is Marshall, I'd just like to say Happy 29th Anniversary to my wife Pam..."

Hello, this is Marshall, I'd just like to say Happy 29th Anniversary to my wife Pam and to my two oldest daughters, I hope your sonograms turn out as perfect as you all are. To my daughter Ranee, congratulations on your junior year at DePaul, my son-in-laws, I wish you were here but it's more important for you to be at home now. I love you mom, Diane, Debbie and Grace. Here's our famous Dr. J.

This is Jay, greeting to all my family, especially to Shelley, my most darling wife, I miss you so much and I really, really appreciate you letting me come on this trip. Hello to all my children and I hope everything's going well in your early summer. I wanted to thank also my mom and my dad and all their help, and also my engineer, Robert Lindsey, and look forward to seeing you all soon. Love you all.

Hi, this is Peggy speaking, cradled in the arms of the valley. I feel incredible blessed to have a beautiful son. Steel, you are so much a part of me. Eve, I thank spirit everyday for bringing you into my life, you make me complete, I love you. Family and friends, I feel your presence on the mountain, a heartfelt thanks for being with me on this journey. Namaste, Peggy.

Hi, it's Bob Baker, having a great time at 14.2. It's just been a wonderful week-and-a-half. I decided to go ahead and cut this part of my vacation short and spend the rest of it with my wife in Seattle. Sherry, Chris and Erin, my thoughts are with you. And Chris and Cher, I've already positioned Leah and Cleo's pictures right here in one of the most beautiful places that you could possible find. And my friend John Murphy, hopefully I'll see you tomorrow. Take care.

Hi,m this is Eric Larson, I'm just relaying a message. Dennis Burn is also going to be headed down with Bob and they're going to be heading out tonight. They're going to do about a 12-hour trudge out to the airstrip and then they should be flying, if weather permits, tomorrow afternoon into Talkeetna.

So we'll keep in touch, we'll call you from 17 and this is Alpine Ascents 6 out, J and the Generators.
