[Isobel and Jim Bishop]

Dear Herman,
Thank you very much for posting this note.

As " outsiders" Australians, I think I speak for all of us Aussies,  
to say that the Guardians one and all-  made us Aussies feel  
especially welcome in your country. David and Anne Wood and their  
family were always so gracious and kind and loving, I will never  
forget their hospitality.  All the Guardians taught me so much about  
respect and graciousness.

Thank you Herman- for this reminder of a wonderful time in my life.  
Thank you Guardians.


In peace and love,
Isobel BIshop.
