Things do grind slowly here, hut sooner or later we are 
able to deliver the goods. Here are the prints that you mated of 
that picture of yourself standing by the base of the palss tree. I 
enjoy looking at that picture, too. It reminds me of a somewhat 
strenuous, but very enjoyable and successful trip. Hot all of the 
little seedlings survived, but two are doing very well. I am only 
too glad to be able to give you the pictures. 
My best to 
the rest of the 
Sincerely
