Glen,
I want to thank you once again for including me in the
rwanda mission. it was a truly remarkable experience. i'm sure you have heard
that over and over in your long career, i'll just add my admiration for
everything you bring to introducing people to a new world. my hope is to
continue to be involved in tropical medicine and my fervent hope is for you to
include me in future missions. the sooner the better.
take care and hope to see you soon.
sincerely,
tim

And, Thank
You Julie!
You may have
no idea how far that bag of mine has traveled, so it is
about time
that it came home to Africa! And, we may
have outfitted a
few runners
for additions to the legacy of African couriers!
We were only
sorry that Pierre had to make two trips to collect it! We
had arrived
late and were still in the process of re‑packing what we had
intended to
leave.
It was a
delight to have met you, and I cannot wait to get back to join
you in an
excursion to see the old Grey Silverbacks‑‑probably closely
resembling
their near relatives at least in one instance!
It may be
July of
2007, as a return has been promised to the MOH and to the
Commandant
of the Rwandan Army whose village is in the NorthEast along
the Ugandan
and Congolese mountainous border, and
the latter has asked
that we make
a clinic and care center up near his home as good as the
one we have
started sustainably in the capital.
I will keep
in touch, and I am glad that the goodies may be put to good
use!
Cheers!
GWG

I am
a star in the heavens,

Shining

background of river mud.
Bathed
by the waters
rushing
