JUN-A-5
I SEND OUT A CAUTOUS NOTE,
THAT,
SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITH VERY LITTLE NOTICE,
I AM MAKING OPTIONS INTO PLANS
WHILE KEEPING THE TRIPS TO INDIA ON HOLD
From: Glenn Geelhoed
To: Don Griffioen; Donald Geelhoed; Michael Geelhoed; Virginia Croskery
Date: 6/3/02 9:42AM
Subject: Fwd: Still On
Given the seesaw of political and public opinion and the tickets (and boxes of medicine) in hand while my luggage and surgical kits await my arrival in Delhi next week, I will see what happens moment by moment‑‑even in the air on the way!
I had "finally" taken off for Kathmandu from Delhi after several re‑screenings on Indian Air two weeks earlier, only to be called back while in the air to return to Delhi for security concerns. So, as in all matters these days, subject to change without notice, I am ready to roll with options pending.
An assessment from closer to the troubled area we will be working in is appended.
DearGlenn,
Hello!
It is very cruicial timing at moment but I am sure
there is not going to be any war now we can just pray
from the God for the good.India is not capible to take
the burden of the war and nither the Pakistan.Now we
will just wait and watach.May God help these people
and give them wise thinking.Thank you for the update.
With all regards.
Hem Thakur.
