Hi, Jill and Luigi, so good to hear from you. Yes, I remember our time together in Nepal. Hope you enjoy the book, and share some of your reflections with me and others. By the way, I heard from Elsa Batica, that her five copies are not for the Hubert Humphrey fellows, but for family members and friends. It is wonderful that this list serve allows us to stay in touch after many decades together and apart. ................................................................................................
