Hi Glenn.
I have kept myself busy reading your very interesting
account of the Asmara
medical mission. Your level of energy amazes me. I am
almost fully recovered
from the fatigue and jet lag. Of course, being on call
every other day has
not helped matters. I am sorry to learn that you
experienced electrical
outage at your lovely home and damage it caused was
quite significant. Are
things back to normal now?
I will arrange for a get together at some point so
that we can exchange
pictures and stories.
I want to thank you deeply for all that you have done
to help me over the
years and for your continued dedication to the service
of others.
You take care.
Haile

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!
