[Oe List ...] Obama

[the telfords]

Dear colleagues
We also rejoice with you at the dawning of a new day - the feeling which
Beret describes is just we the feeling we experienced nearly one year ago
when Kevin Rudd was elected as Australia's Prime Minister, so we know that
feeling. Wow!!
Take care
John & Elaine
