Dear
Elio,
Just
a short note to let you know the latest. I will send copies of letters next
time. I write regarding how to get Veronica, Carefoot and Annie. Good
instructions.
I
received a letter from Annie if we go there. She would be pleased to see us
and has a guest room where we could stay. She is 76 years old and still has
chickens. She is very knowledgeable. I think Waardenburg is in Southern
Netherlands. I also received a long letter from Romanov with information of
further contacts. Romanov told me of the conditions in the Ukraine. My heart
goes out to him. Everything is going crazy in that country and Russia. The
economy is very bad and his Institute may close down through lack of funds. He
told me he is only getting 30 US$ per month. I have a few US$ here, I will
send to him. It is a great pity that learned people like Romanov may be lost
to science. I think he would like to emigrate somewhere else. He received the
books all OK and is very thankful for them. He said he would be coming to
Italy in May, I think.
I
have been very busy getting material ready for Club
Newsletter as I need to get a double lot reaching for when I am away. Also
letters to answer and other Club’s business. Tony is printing Rhode Island
book which I should have shortly. I think it will be OK
Joyce
and Max have returned from their holiday (1 month) and Marie came up the other
day. Bob is going OK but sleeps a lot. He is getting lazy. David and Chris are
going OK. David is pretty busy at the moment. However they Called in to see me
last week. All for now.
Regards.
