This is to introduce you to a man and his dream. A WORLD WALKER, who is walking around the world. Not in eighty-days, but a walk that will take approximately 7,000 plus days or thereabouts.

I have reached the 18 an a half year mark with but four years to go to finish the trek. Up to this point I have walked in the neighborhood of 80,000 plus miles, which includes all 50 states and Seventy Countries.

In the year 2010, give or take a year or two, the walk will be completed as I walk into Texas via the border of Mexico, at the age of eighty-one or two. But since age resides between the left and right ear, then what is this thing called, "age", anyway?

During this earth 'Odyssey', the media has graciously covered my trek via newspapers, magazines, radio and television. Also, I have spoken in the last 18 an a half years to a wide spectrum of educational, professional and civic groups: Primary and High schools, Colleges and Universities (local and international), Rotarians , Lions and Kiwanis groups. And during the next four or five years I will continue to do the same, until this journey reaches it's final step. I am widening my exposure every day. My Website will increase this.

Wherever I speak, there is no charge, for this trip is a gift. One does not charge for a gift such as this. A once-in-a-life privileged gift. As I walk in the steps of History and past glories, seeing the Wonders of the World and all that which has been given. The awe's and the "ah ha's"! of the World, the sights and sounds of "all and everything". What gifts!

As I speak to the young and those of the golden age, my final words have been: Put steps to your dreams, and you will see a dream, walking beside you and with you, hand in hand. And it will add steps to your life. But the secret lies in doing it. These Zen words are timeless, "just do it". No, Nike did not say these words first.

Somewhere is this scenario there are marketing possibilities.

Well, I have said my piece, stated the possibility. Should there be someone who can see an advertising benefit for them, and you need further information, I would be happy to furnish it. >a

Time they say is money. But for me, it means I still have many more horizons to walk towards. I do not wait for time, nor does it wait for me.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Hawk McGinnis
