> Dear Ruth,
>     We were at Bananeiras for the tenth anniversary of the consult.  Having
> been at the consult, we had a few questions in mind, like?
>     What happened to the experimental vegetable farm?
> Ans. What vegetable farm? We don't need it! Everyone has  their own vegetable
> garden around their house.
>     What about plans to enlarge the school?
> Ans.   We did some of that, but we got help to put in a road to the nearest
> town and all our children are bussed there for middle school and high school.
> Some have even gone on to college!
>     What about all the health problems?
> Ans.  We have a resident nurse now, but we don't have any serious health
> problems.
>     What about employment?
> Ans.  With the buses, people can either work in ttown or work here and
> transport their products.  We have a good standard of living.
>     What do you remember about the consult?
> Ans. Some foreign people came once, but I don't remember much about them.
> We've been very busy!
>     Sounded to us like the Consult had been a success!
