your trip to the prison
What an extraordinary story and facts about Mandella, I can see why anyone would be so touched by visiting it.

I admire your photrography of your travels, I don't know that I could travel that much due to my travel sickness. We love the hats and Carlea loves all her Australian buddies! she slept with all them the night we received them ( March 9th). I gave Carlea a lecture on interrupting me on the phone after Ron had called last, Sorry Ron. Travel On! Abby

Hello
Ron & Pam, I enjoyed the story and pictures of the Cape area. Beautiful scenery. I love the terrain. Very appealing. Watching Indiana play Ohio State. Florida is also playing. Take care of yourselves. Steven audtioned and got the Bass Guitar gig with the Landers sisters. If you remember the twins were on several Tv shows, etc. One was on Dallas for eight year. The dad is Dave Neidenfur, a former pitcher with the Dodgers. Looks like they will be going to Germany this summer for a week to play several shows, and then they will fly to L.A. and play the Roxy! Steven is definetely moving on with his music. Jenna's team beat the 12-under boys Thursday 4-3. Jenna had 3 goals. Jim
