We had the pleasure of a drop-in visit from Maureen Dowling Sawkins and husband Philip last week. An overnight was not enough to catch up, but we tried! They had been on a very extensive trip through Australia - and saw more than many Australians have seen! We will be in B.C. for a very short time in May (after several weeks' visit to South America) so will try to catch up with some of you then. All the best...
