Greetings from Durbs-by-the-sea
I love the pictures of you on the rollers. What great progress you're making. I wish I was near Dalton so that I could meet you and have a chat. It won't be long before you're racing again. Everytime I read about your progress I pass the news on to my family.
Keep up the good work.  |

Great to see you on the rollers!!!!!!! I have been praying that you can get back on the road again soon. It looks like it won't be much longer. I hope that you will have a group ride once you're back on the road. I missed the one you had in January, but I won't let it happen again. Here's to getting on the road again soon!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Hey Saul,
Gald to see you on the trainer and the rollers!!!!! I hope all is well. I lost a girlfriend after being the driver in a tramatic car wreck in high school, and I am glad to say that I am happly married now to a much better woman and that all is in the plans so don't worry about the past get ready for the future. The reason for the 70% is probley due to the girl/boyfriend no understanding or at least that is what I saw. Me and a buddy of mine are coming to do 6 Gap not this weekend but next so we may come by the sandy springs classic. Either way me and Brad are gonna get some of those "rasinin hell" bands!!!!!

Saul, I\'ve been following your career for a while now and I\'ve been pulling for you that entire time. I was really amazed at your Tour de l\'Ave KOM and Tour de Lankawi performances. Not to mention your sacrifice during MSR this year.
I train with a friend of yours here in Phoenix during the winter who is in the Cycling Center program in Belgium now. We often discuss your progress. It\'s an insparation to a 43 yr old military guy like me. To see you fight so hard and it\'s great to see your balance back - a great leap for you my friend. Good article on you in cycle sport too! You\'re looking better all the time. I keep looking for you on AOL. Keep on moving forward.

Dear Saul
Your recovery is amazing and inspiring.
Sorry to hear about your girlfriend though. I think as part of your recovery you should ask your speech therapist out on a date... She looks very cute!

Keep up the positive thoughts. You have come SO far!!!

Saul,
Just a note to wish you well. I had the good fortune to marry Al Raisin's daughter 23 years ago. Al was your grandfather's brother, and he was my favorite inlaw. I guess that would make him your great uncle.
From your writings I believe you and he share a great deal of very special blood. Al was an adventurer, a truely positive force who inspired us all.
We live in Roswell, my wife runs a program for Holocaust survivors for the Jewish Federation, she shared with me the article in the Times.
I send you our best,
Greg |

Saul, the pictures just about turned my stomach seeing you in that coma.
I pray to G D everyday that you have a full recovery and my prayers are being answered.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
From then till now is nothing less then a miracle.
So, remember, I'm going whop your butt on our ride. |

Saul,
We just found your web-site. We became a fan last year after you took time to talk to my 10 and 7 yr. old daughters before the Tour De Georgia race starting in Gainesville. We wish you all the best I'm a local PT and know what your going through. Hang tough, you're on your way. I'm going to try and get some bracelets to distribute among the local rehab. folks in the area. We are all big fans of Shep. Center. God's Speed Saul.
