<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Now I have to say "Wow!" What a wonderful

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I'm sure I'll have grammar and vocabulary questions for the

a wee nudge as well.</span></p>

Subject: Introduction<br>
<br>
If I may chime in again here, Peggy, let me officially introduce our Marsha to
you (and to whoever hasn't met her so far). Marsha has been with us for a long
time and has been one of the very supportive and definitely most appreciative
members, as has been Elsie from whom you heard today as well and who has been
with us for almost the entire ride (over 13 years!). There are quite a few such
great great people in the verbal arena, and you will meet them as we go along.<br>
<br>
You can meet several of them here, and this includes Marsha and Elsie:<br>
<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/members.php">http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/members.php</a><br>
<br>
Some, including Marsha, are sharing some of their creativity in our gallery: <br>
<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/</a><br>
<br>
I particularly enjoy Marsha's poem "New Mown" (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/wilson_mown.php">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/wilson_mown.php</a>)
which seem to me so very evocative of the Lowlands and also very "sweetly" American, and
this is why I translated it into German
(<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/wilson_mown-de.php">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/wilson_mown-de.php</a>).<br>
<br>
And being an avid student of Scots, you are no doubt familiar with the website
of Sandy (<a href="http://www.scotstext.org/">http://www.scotstext.org/</a>) and Andy (<a href="http://scots-online.org">http://scots-online.org</a>).<br>
<br>
Sandy also has
his own Scots nook in our gallery, complete with one of his latest photos:
