I also have been following since seeing your story on Juliana Hatfield's site- can't believe how fast 2 years have gone. When things get rough I tend to think of your journey and realize how easy I have it. You are an inspiration to all. I wish you the best and hope that your health only gets better. Thanks for sharing your life with us, it really puts things in perspective. Take care and I wish good things to you and your family.

Saw your link from Juliana Hatfield's site. That's a rough road you've had to travel. Don't know what to say except that my compassion goes out to you, and I wish you good things.

Hi Bryce, I am a friend of Meg's from high school in Duxbury. We were always together my junior and senior year, Meg's sophmore and junior year and I have lots of good stories! I am amazed by your story and wish you continued success in your strength and therapies. What great family and friends you are surrounded by! Good Luck and I hope to see Meg sometime, we are connecting on Facebook. I see your Dad works for BofA/Merrill Lynch, so do I.

Bryce, we have never met, but I know some of your family through schools in Brookfield and the Congregational Church. Loved Brookstock. Think about becoming an inspirational speaker. You are that good! Keep the faith.

Bryce, Your Dad and I were classmates at Deerfield. We have known each other since we were Sophomores living in Dean Hall,which deservedly was torn down many years ago. While we have not kept in touch over the years, I connected with him recently over FB. My wife Carrie and I recently learned of your unfortunate accident. We could not make your benefit concert, so we made a contribution to NTAF in your name. We believe God is with you. Be strong. Love, Jeff & Carrie Hoye

Hi Bryce - glad you are back in the USA and that the surgery went so well at Craig and that you have had such immediate results. Your dad may or may not have told you that we, the Gile family, pray for you and that your courage in the face of this calamity gives us strength and hope and helps us to focus on what is truly important in life...keep healing.

Bryce, I responded to a request made by your mother's friend Juliana Hatfield on her web site. In reading your profile here, I was reminded of another profile I saw recently on the PBS special "This Emotional Life" of a gentleman named Francesco who experienced an accident very similar to your own and his remarkable story of resilience and recover. I commend his story to you (http://www.pbs.org/thisemotionallife/people/personal-story/francesco). I hope the support of your family and friends like Juliana inspire you in your recovery. I believe, as the doctor and author Mark Vonnegut once told his father, author Kurt Vonnegut, "We're here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is." I hope that my contribution does that in some small way.

Bryce...I met you briefly in August 2008 while visiting New Canaan...am a friend of Meg and your dad, a former CBS leader with Meg (we moved to Minnesota in July 2007). I was so happy to hear that you were met at Craig by several Colorado College friends, and am praying you'll soon be back at school with them. There are hundreds praying for you all over the country. We are inspired by your courage and so appreciative of your dad's detailed updates. Rarely are families faced with so many major challenges all at the same time. We have seen the Lord's hand in some progress for you, and pray for more, and His provision for Keefe and healing Meg. Now we continue to pray for a job for your father, His peace regarding your potential upcoming surgery and restoration of your left arm. I've long been a fan of Charles Krauthammer and every time I watch his commentary on Fox News, I am reminded of you and the potential you have to contribute in your field. I am encouraged by how technology might assist you not only in your future career but also in pursuing your musical composition interests. All reports have given us pray-ers great admiration for your entire family. Being a realist, though, I know there are inevitably times of discouragement and mourning - I pray that God will see you through those times with hope, love, fellowship and a sense of curious anticipation about what exactly He has in store for you going forth. No reply necessary...just know that you are deep in a lot of mothers' hearts and prayers....

Hi Bryce- Your Dad and I went to Trinity together and I spent 1/2 my Junior year in Geneva studying International Relations. I still remember that Lake Geneve water was freezing even in the late summer. All the best to you during your recovery. The journey can be difficult but there are amazing discoveries along the way. Our son went through Leukemia 5 years ago and our family was blessed to witness all of the small miracles along the way. We are sending positive energy your way. Tell your Dad that I'm sorry to have missed the beer pong tourney, but I was there in spirit. Hang tough! Al Strickler (Trinity '83)

Dear Bryce, I am very saddened to learn of your injury. While you and I don't know each other, I am a Fraternity Brother of Dad from Trinity and a Mainah (Kennebunk). I have a son of the same age serving with the Marines in Afghanistan so I know, to some degree, what Dad is going through watching and hoping for a good ending to a tough story. God Bless you in your recovery. All the best. Give em hell!

Hi Bryce, You don't know me but I know you!...just because I talked with your dad today. We in Texas have been praying for you and your family since hearing of your accident from folks who attend Hope church in Wilton CT...It's a small world after all. I am a 62 y/o woman who sustained a SCI in Sept. '06 falling from my bicycle on a trail in Acadia National Pk in ME. My husband had just retired from pastoring a church on Martha's Vineyard, and yes we know Woody Bowman well (FOCUS). You can read some of my ongoing story at www.caringbridge.org/visit/cathy_campbell. Would love to communicate with you and your mom anytime. PS: I spent 2 mths. at Shephard in GA and now live in TX near 5 of our 7 grandchildren...the weather is great for wheelchair living! We'll talk. God bless you!
