Those who finished their journey in 2006

This isn’t comprehensive (obviously) but these are some whose work made a difference in my life that I noticed, and whom you may also know (so it doesn’t include those journeys from my local life.)

They are listed in no particular order. I think you could probably find bios on all these people via Wikipedia.

11/18/08 Note: In preparation for being away from the computer for a while, I've turned off comment moderation because I want you to be able to interact with my guest posters. Be good while I'm gone kids!

Welcome to the new (and hopefully permanent) home of This Journey. It's good to have people walking along, especially during the bumpy parts. I can be contacted at not.fainthearted at gmail dot com. Or leave a comment!
