Jann, Congratulations for this decision. Taked courage to uproot and
resettle. Im moving in that direction to do it when I am 80 - 4 more years.
I am drawn to a lifestyle like Nancy Lamphear and colleagues have created
as Sangaia. May this change be a delightful adventure. And the fires to the
East now subside. Judi White
