I feel so frustrated and so exhausted, but, I try to look at the bright side, even though I share Jerry's anger over our meager funding. The bright side is that we are:- 1. appearing on TV, radio and in newspapers in increasing numbers 2. the Udall Act is authorized for 3 years 3. we are closer than ever to getting $100 million/year in research and public education funds through the udall appropriations process 4 we are greatly increasing our advocacy tools and skills 5 we are becomimg a community, and are no longer isolated from one another ! Thank you Jerry for your positive energy and even for your anger. Ivan ^^^^^^WARM GREETINGS FROM^^^^^^^^^^ Ivan Suzman 48/11 [log in to unmask] Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 57 deg.
