As a wife myself, I was not at all surprised to read Russell's description of his wife's strong reaction to watching her husband in crisis; I immediately felt how terrifying it would be for her when she actually viewed it. Russell has been reminded--and has reminded us--that while money is definitely nice, his family's love, respect, and support are infinitely better. Congratulations, Russell--you've turned a personal disappointment into a valuable life-affirming lesson. You ARE a true Survivor in the very best sense of the word (and so is your wife!). We're glad we got to "know" you.
