I hope this reaches you before I do. I arrived here late last night and my bag did not arrive. It wont get here until Thursday night. I am really discouraged with PAA!!

Arrived here ok and it is hotter than I expected – 95 degrees yesterday when we landed but dry heat.
The persons to whom Susan had written are anxious to see us and we already have lots of meetings line up. However offices are only open from 7 – 1 pm. so we will have free time for resting in pm.

Greetings to all from Dar. All goes well. Plenty of rain and rough roads but it is good to be in the field.
For now- Love, Bill
Malaga, Spain

Dear K
Didn’t have a chance to go skiing, as everything was shut up until the season opens on the 12th so no broken legs or anything. Really enjoying the sun in Malaga. Right now sitting in a sidewall cafe drinking a “cerveza”. Move on to Madrid tonight etc. Hope we didn’t put you out too much while we were there. Hope your SAT went alright tambien.
Love, Tom and Jen

Dear Mom
This is a lovely city – we toured and walked yesterday in the lovely spring sun. Kathy and I are trying all the gorgeous (and fattening) pastries – no wonder many people here are plump! We’re off by train to Vienna this noon. Wish you were here.
Love, Dede
The festival city Salzburg – the Mirabell garden with the cathedral and the fortress.
Venice, Italy
June 1968
After some delay getting visas for Hungary in Rome, we came to this beautiful Venice – crowded with German tourists. Will take the train for Budapest tomorrow morning; Sheila will come along for four or five days and then fly back to Mexico via London. Hope your African safari went all well!
Best Regards, Stella

Dear Noah
There are lots of sheep in Ireland, 500,000 on the Dingle peninsula alone – Most have little colored splotches on their backs so you can ell who owns them. There is also a lot of green country, because it rains almost every day!

Dear
All going well. I gave my presentation this morning and it went OK. I’ve been active with the sub-group with which I work and we have the China trip finalized. We’ll be at Victoria Falls this weekend. Ruth is here but there isn’t much for spouses so I think it OK that you didn’t come.
Love, Bill

Dear Va
Thinking of you as we travel with Mary and David (Rome, Algiers, Tunis, Beirut). They go their own way for 2 1/2 more weeks starting Fri – and we head for a week’s work in Nairobi, planning to stop in Athens on our way home.
Loved catching up with you all during Bill’s visits. Hope everything was fine in Wis. How we enjoyed the reports of your new home – and your young folk’s worlds. Sure do miss you but you are one of our best correspondents – Gracias.
Fondly, Lowell and Mary
