A nice place! You would enjoy it. I took a swim on arrival this afternoon. Thought it might be my only chance. Will see the meeting schedule tomorrow.

T & J got here about 4 hours late but happy and not too tired. We are gradually hearing about their trip to Europe, their life in Australia.
You can see Bill’s office at the top right of the photo.
Hope you are well, Love, Dede

Hi
Just got home from the Floriade and A lovely 5 course luncheon with the Board – 51 of us. We drove in a big bus thru the beautiful tulip fields – a lovely sunny day, not too chilly. The cocktail last night was ok – Marilynn’s spinach dip was a real hit! Mary H. Sends her love to you. Hope all is okay in Pl–

I hope Lori transmitted my telex message to you that I arrived ok on schedule.
We had our first meetings yesterday and will be in full swing today. This morning I slept until 5:30 so feel I am now back to a normal adjustment to jet lag. Team seems compatible. As usual at this point the task seems impossible to accomplish – but we’ll do it. It’s in the 90’s but not much rain – but humid.
Love, Bill

We were really glad to have word before I left that Tom and Jenny had visited you. Now will want to know all about it.
I am in Yaonde which is in the mountains and nice. On Wed. I go to Abidjan and then home on Sat. See you soon.

Isn’t this nice? They have a large one hanging as you start upstairs in the refurbished Maruitshuis. Bill and I went this AM – all my old favorites (Steen, F Hals, Rembrandt, etc) are all there, but the bldg is beautiful! We are off to Dorothy’s for tea – ISNAR for weekly get-together at 5.
