American Pearl

Excerpts from American Pearl Letters:

Dear Tori,

I am eleven years old, and am going into sixth grade.

I think that it is great that you are rowing over the Atlantic with Loise Graff. And if you finish first you and Loise will go down in history. Also let me know if you will climb Mt. Everest. To tell you the truth I wouldn't mind trying all the adventures you have been on. Except I have a fear of mountain climbing.

Enclosed is a check to pay for some of your expenses, a picture of me, and a necklace of pearls for good luck. It would please me if you would wear the necklace during the race. Take care and God bless.


Dear Tori,

Good Luck when you row across the ocean. I know it is Dangerous but I know you will live and I am 8 years old and maybe when I will grow up to be something like you. To you from Allison.


Dear Tori & Louise,

What an adventure! I know this donation will help, but I also want you both to know why I'm sending it. It is for all the women who will never be able to realize a dream, or have an adventure like yours. In honor of all these women, especially my niece, who is physically challenged and works very hard and will always be a pearl. To both of you, God bless and God speed.
