to join you. My wife, though she was born and<br>
lived her first 7 years on Maui and then her next 11 in Alaska) claims<br>
Santa Cruz (where she went to univeristy) as home, and her eldest<br>
sister lives in Santa Clara and her mother in Santa Cruz. Alas, I as<br>
now live in Bombay (Mumbai to SOME BJPers). and have been SWAMPED with<br>
work (albeit very enjoyable and rewarding work) pretty much<br>
continually for the 2 months since I came here, I will be unable to<br>
make it a party ("two's company and three's ... a party!")<br>
<br>
IF I were ever to return to the States and retire (I PLAN to do the<br>
latter, though at this time there are no plans for the former), I<br>
would definitely consider that part of the country ... it is<br>
wonderful, and, as Ron points out, March is a good time to visit.<br>
<br>
PS Make sure you visit some missions if you have use of a car ...<br>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB">Sorry to hear this Mike, It would have been fun to
roam the Santa Cruz area with a bunch of Lowlanders. Especially with you, since
I learned you know your way around. <br>
Though I have a very enjoyable as well as rewarding program at Santa Clara
University, I am sure there will be some time left for party. What a pity you
won't be able to take the lead in partying or just simply meet for an
interesting chat with LL friends. </span></font></span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB">Ron you wrote very encouragingly:<br>

Seattle, but there's a chance of me being down in Santa Cruz and perhaps other
parts in the first and/or second week of March. I'll be in touch with you about
that if it comes off.<br>
</span></font></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;" lang="EN-GB">Great. That would be splendid Ron. I hope we can make
it to actually meet in person. The program takes me to Santa Clara University
on March 5, 6 and 7. I will arrive in SF on March 2, starting off with a jet
lag. I will send you more details on my whereabouts later.</span></font><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;" lang="EN-GB"></span></font></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB">The group I in am counts is about twenty managers senior
(I met with the age criteria) doing a program on (among other things) <span> </span>marketing, innovation, leadership and e‑commerce.
The program is organized by Tias, a branch of Tilburg University. It has
nothing to do with linguistics or Lowlandic affairs at all. I am in a far different
trade. <br>
The majority of our group decided to start off at San Francisco. I am post
flower power generation. But San Francisco never the less sounds magic. <span></span><br>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;" lang="EN-GB">Now, with a good chance of your possible presence I suppose
anyone in the SF or Santa Cruz area will be joining in. Why not take the
opportunity of a non-virtual meeting.</span></font><font color="navy"><span style="color: navy;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></font><span><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB">I agree with Mike that three is a party and any number above three makes
