<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
didn't get the chance to post this at the appropriate time (Thursday):</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Happy (Ethiopian) New Year 2002!</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
while Ethiopia (at least much of it) hardly qualifies as Lowland</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
(Addis Ababa is something like 2400 m above sealevel!), but as of this</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
coming Tuesday, ONE of our number (myself) will finally be resident</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
there.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">----------</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

Subject: Holidays</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Thanks, Mike, and happy New Year to you, also my best wishes for your new life and new job in yet another beautiful country among beautiful people.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I work with several Ethiopians (as well as Eritreans) and live in a part of Seattle in which many of them live. My experiences with them have been very positive, and I have a very easy time being on friendly terms with them and enjoying their hospitality. I have a feeling you are in for a treat, Mike.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">And here's a request from me. Please see if you can rustle up Horn of Africa translations and sound files for the Wren project (Amharic, Tigrinya, Tigre, Oromo, ...).</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">And talking about projects, thanks to a couple of Lowlanders, our Crypt (the scarier side of the Lowlands) has been taking off nicely. Also, it has a new URL:</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://lowlands-l.net/crypt/">http://lowlands-l.net/crypt/</a></span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">We can do with a lot more participation. Surely all of you have scary stories to tell. If you need help, please ask. Please communicate about this with me at </span><a style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com">sassisch@yahoo.com</a><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">And talking about holidays, I wish our Muslim friend the best on Ramadan and send my wishes to our Jewish friends for their New Year (Rosh haShanah) beginning this coming Friday night.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Regards,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Reinhard/Ron</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Seattle, USA</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
