Oh, no one is sadder than me that this Ghana trip fell through. My 30+ year
dream of going back to the place where I lived for two years while in the
Peace Corps has suddenly evaporated. I am so sorry to hear about Ellie and
that this trip is off. Is there anything I can do, Laura?

Hi Laura,

I am so sorry the trip fell through! Please let Ellie know that I hope she
feels better soon.

Thinking of you often,

Kathy

>villages interested in working with us.  Ellie and I began preparations
>for the trip last July and she used her fall trip to Ghana to make many
>of the arrangements.  Her knowledge and experience were critical for
>making the trip a success.
