Pat & Mary Hayes, from the Buckeye Trail Association e-mailed:

Dear Betty Lou,

Thank you very much for inviting Mary and me to the premier presentation of the Emma "Grandma" Gatewood story. We were impressed at the depth of research that went into creating your presentation and we learned facts about Grandma that we had never heard before. We are eagerly awaiting the next stage of the Grandma Gatewood project, a first-person character program. Keep up the good work.

Sue Butts e-mailed: "The Grandma Gatewood program is entertaining, enlightening, and wholly enjoyable. The narrative clearly presents Grandma's experiences on and off the Appalachian Trail and provides a look at the life of a remarkable woman. ... I could go on. It's a terrific program."

Jo Davis e-mailed: "May her story get the notice deserved. And the funding needed."
