Hi all,

Thanks, Gabriele, I fully agree with your "klip in die bos".

My youngest daughter is restoring a '58 Chev Biscayne
and my eldest is a smart mother and successful employee.
Any attempt at labelling them would be misleading.

I suspect the less women protest and the more we achieve
in our own right, the further we'll get.

Regards,
Elsie Zinsser

  I can only really speak for myself, but I guess many of my Lowlands
brothers
  stand behind me when I wish all of you women on our List all the very best
  on International Women's Day, March 8, 2005, and when I tell you that I
  appreciate, honor and, yes, love you all.
Thank you, Ron.  It is indeed a day that goes largely unnoticed, but there
are many such.  Children's day, grandparent's day.  Better if we all could
manage somehow to respect and revere each other on a daily basis, no?

I wish today for every child, girl and boy, to have a full belly, hear no
guns, and mother and father close by to reassure.  It is a woman's wish
immemorial.  May it some day be granted.

Thank you, dear Marsha, for your kind and poignant words.

> It is a woman's wish immemorial.

Believe me! It's been many a man's wish too, though many of us haven't
mustered the ultimate courage: that of professing this wish and living by it
despite pressures to do otherwise.

I was good hearing from you, Marsha.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
