[Oe List ...] Greetings from Point Lonsdale, Victoria

[Isobel and Jim Bishop]

Hello Frank and colleagues,
  Thank you for this news. George Holcombe asked about the Miesens  
very early into the terrible floods, so I feel sure that  he and all  
of us can now rest a bit easy.

Greetings to all the colleagues at Point Lonsdale..
In peace,
Isobel B.
