Re: Christmas custom/Bev

[Guest guest]

I am very nervous b/c of the political climate in Venezuela, but

a really asked to go this year. I am going to make an extra

effort to meet the doctor, as you may remember I have some contact

with CF parents in Venezuela, in fact I am taking some Tobi to a

little boy, there.

Thank you so much for all the good vibes, we surely need them.

When are you leaving. i will try to find her name at the office to day in

my conf. folder. I have a picture of us all at a wonderful dinner & TANGO

stage show. Big in Buenos Aires. 45 of us went in a big bus. She stayed with

Lois & I a great deal . We took her in our cab each day to the other hotel

the conf. was in.

Yes, the politics were really bad a couple years ago . One of our employees

is from there. In fact her ex-husband is a airline attendant for US Air & she

was going to go BUT , her brothers had already gotten there & were having

trouble getting their passports back to get home. One was from England & the

other the states. She didn't go , But the others there were fine &

afterwards she was sorry she hadn't gone . You will be fine. I think most of

the TOURIST have it fine .They need the business---hehe. ANYWAY. That is

great.

I have sent things there thru others also. It is tough for them in many

cases. You are a doll to help. let me know if I can ever be of help .

remind Gladys (if you ever catch up with her) to write me if I can help

her. I do several docs in Ecuador & Argentina & Mexico , Chili, &

Brazil....Some others too, but I cant remember them now.-SOoooooooooooooAs I

said before. Take care HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME.

LOVE & HUGS,

That is o.k. if you cant. It is a busy time for you. I do know whatever

they call their CF -Foundation, Association, -She was the head of it

back then.She is a Pediatrician.

We spotted her once with they had the big mud slides working on some

children that had been pulled out & it was on TV. She is a fine person.
