JULY-A-1
OPENING THE NEW SERIES OF SUMMER IN DERWOOD ENVIRONS
- Index to Jun-A-2004 series in Summer Derwood environment.
- Spit and polish full-dress marines, the gathering of the DR/Haiti group and supplies for the medical mission of the JUL-B-series, and the Fourth of July, all rolled into interference on the large ELDP writing assignment for early July.
- Further flurries of work on the DR/Haiti trip, with all the students gathering at Derwood for packing party of meds and equipment, last minute shuffles in personnel and tickets, and a start on theses due in my absence.
- The inaugural visit of Michael and Judy and the twins to the new Derwood: the twins name each of the animals in Game Room, and the new Natural History Museum “Hall of Mammals” and then “stalk” big bucks in the Derwood woods.
- In contrast to the visit with Michael, Judy and the twins, my best efforts at a visit with my new grandson is thwarted similarly to the last attempts to see the others throughout 2003 in an impasse of inconvenience.
- Some peoples’ problems make our own seem rather trivial, as I am asked to write a letter of reference for my graduating protégé Sammy Gorman points out.
- The sign-out in pre-departure gatherings with the team, a sad farewell posted to
- Messages linking Paul Farmer and Peter Hotez for later collaboration in Cange and GWUMC.
