Re: Delhi "It's Not the Heat, It's the Humanity!"

 

I will send you the access to the Ladakh and Lingshed pictures on line.  note especially one of them, which is of us at the flooded bus!

 

I will send you the stuff now that I have a non PO Box address, and will try to get the packages off to you upon return form Alaska.  My "demo phase" is being completed this weekend and then the reconstruction can start, which will try to pull even with you in your advanced stages of reconstruction!

 

I am copying this note to George Sevich, and we will talk about getting together in British Columbia as well as the Russian hunts.  By copy of this note I will see if I can get Virginia's phone to you (515/556 3307) and yours to her before she leaves San Francisco on labor Day.

 

I will be back in touch with more stories and pictures for "show and tell" on return from Alaska!
