NP, alj14. I just e-mailed her out of the blue and she responded. At first she was rather stand-offish but we have since become rather friendly and cordial. I think she at first felt somewhat threatened by our presence but I think she has all she can handle. She also says things move at a snail's pace in Panama. Her e-mail is ahusby@coastecotimber.com. You should contact her. She would probably like an e-mail from Italy.
