Group:

Thank you all for your patience with us this entire growing season (for
those in the Northern Hemisphere), as we left our wonderful home in the
US of A and traveled to Armenia to conduct a gardening training and
demonstration project in the small village of Getk, just a couple of
miles from Turkey.

It has been one of the most difficult things I've ever done, and we
just hope some good can come of our efforts.

We are scheduled to arrive home late on the 15th. Please give us a
couple of days to sort through 5 months of mail, bills, etc. and get
over jet lag (there is an 11 hour time difference), and then I will
welcome your posts as always.
