+# Anika's Traveling Turtle
+
+Confession time.
+
+## Background
+
+Cameron has a good friend named Anika Willis. They first met as
+toddlers when we lived in student housing at BYU. Matt and Andra moved
+in shortly after we did, to an apartment with doors that opened just
+across from ours onto the same porch. More often than not, in the
+summertime, both doors were open and Cameron and Anika would move back
+and forth quite freely. We all got to be very close friends.
+
+Since then, we've stayed in good touch with the Willis family. While
+we were in Virginia, they were in New Jersey which was just close
+enough that we were able to spend some great Thanksgiving holidays
+together. Now, we all miss each other terribly since we're in Oregon
+while they're in north Carolina.
+
+## The problem
+
+A couple of months ago, we received Anika's Traveling Turtle in the
+mail, (a notebook which can be seen in the photographs to the
+right). The plan was that we would write an entry about an animal and
+mail it on to someone else to do the same. We even took it with us on
+our Spring Break trip to the coast with full intentions to add an
+entry right away. But "the best-laid plans" and all that. Cameron has
+now made a nice entry on the life cycle of a frog, and Hyrum did the
+same for salmon. But we don't have time to let the turtle do any more
+traveling, (at least not through snail mail).
+
+## A plea for help
+
+This web page is our last chance to help out Anika by letting her
+turtle do a little bit of virtual traveling. It is a bit embarrassing
+to be asking people to help on a tight deadline, when the only reason
+for expediency was our own failure to act quickly. So, please, nobody
+should feel any obligation to do anything.
+
+But if anybody would be interested and willing to help, we would
+really appreciate it. Here are Anika's original instructions:
+
+> Please write (type) about an animal in your area or one that you are
+> intrigued about. It doesn't have to be a lengthy report, just some
+> specifics that will help me learn more about some animal life cycles
+> (birth to adult). Please be sure that your paper is signed with your
+> name, city, and state.
+
+If anyone would be willing to do that, please just type a quick email
+to stacy@theworths.org and Stacy will print them out, paste them
+into Anika's book, and then send the results back to Anika.
+
+Thanks so much!
