Updates and Updates

I've been busy with My daughter's Girl Scout troop and our PTA newsletter. Here is Linda's update followed by Airasa's:

Hi Nicole,

I am sorry to hear that emails cannot be sent around ABC Clio any more.

I am sending this to UFOESP and it should be posted onto the blog. Sue has been away and also there have not been any updates from either Airasa or me for a while. Next time I go in I will be taking dictation from Graham for a letter to all but I have been busy with getting my house ready for my first viewer today (I hope I can sell quickly) and getting packed to move into my new flat as soon as that all goes through and have not seen Graham myself since last Monday.

I am hoping to get to see him Sunday as my friend who has been helping me prepare the house will be leaving then.

I have also heard from Troy from ABC Clio explaining why the emails can't be sent around any more -- it is a matter of protecting Graham's privacy about his health, which I can understand. The letters on the blog are open to anyone to read, whereas emails can be forwarded to people and this is inappropriate.

I can also add you to the general list!

Kind regards,
Linda



Hi all,
I'm sorry I haven't been sending regular updates to people but life has just got in the way, I'm not ignoring you! Although I am starting to feel like I know you all from your emails and enjoy receiving them (and Tarre, we're still waiting for the story of how you got your nickname!), we are trying to have more communications directly from and to my dad, not only for our sake, but also for his and yours, it's hard to always be communicating through a third person! He has REALLY appreciated all the phone calls he has received, as well as the continued emails and letters. Unfortunately he is not able to make international phone calls from the ward phone, and I know it is often busy when people try to call him, but despite its imperfections it really does make a big difference when I see him and he has had a phone call from someone! My mum is being a star and has gone in today for him to dictate an email for his own update. She is planning to put it on the blog so all those who aren't able to receive the emails (for whatever reason) should be able to see what he is saying! Thanks again to Sue for setting that up. Take care everyone Love,
Airasa

From Linda: According to Troy you can still send Graham's emails around ABC Clio, just that MANAGEMENT cannot forward them to anyone. It is a matter of PRIVACY for Graham -- anyway I expect Graham's latest message will be on the Blog when Sue can get to it.
Does anyone read and comment besides me???
