Subject: Re: Hello!
Thank you for your note!
You won't believe my re‑entry into Derwood! I attach a note about the last days in Asmara
and my return‑‑from which I am still reeking!
The experience in Eritrea was wonderful and I am
grateful for the enthusiastic part you played in it!
Yes, we will get together as soon as I pick up the
pics! I had gone to Ritz Camera and made CD's out of the digital images, and
now will assemble the prints.
We will try to set up the "show and tell with
Sherry ASAP, and you can let your classmates know that you can tell them all
about "what I did on my summer vacation."
Cheers!

Dr. Geelhoed‑
Hello! I hope
that you made it back from Eritrea in one piece, and
that Derwood stood its ground without you home for
about a month. How
were the final days without me in Asmara? I assume that the meeting
with the Minister of Health was interesting, I would
love to hear all
about it. Also,
were there any other interesting cases?
How were all
of our post‑op patients recovering?
I have started (and am very close to completing)
orientation at GW. It
has been a few very exciting and exhausting days, with
classes starting
for me officially on Wednesday morning. I dropped your film off on the
3rd floor of Ross Hall on Thursday morning, so
hopefully the prints
will be waiting for you tomorrow. I wanted to see if we can find a
time (perhaps this weekend) to get together to recap
the trip and make
a presentation.
Let me know when is good for you (if this weekend
works) and we can round‑up Sherry and put
something together.
Also, thank you so much for such an amazing
experience. I expected the
trip to be enlightening and educational, but I never
imagined how much
I could learn not only about medicine, but a different
culture,
peoples, and myself in just 10 days. You truly are an inspiring and
wonderful teacher, and I would be honored if I could
attend another
mission (sometime soon!!) with you.
Talk to you soon!
‑Amy
