<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To all of our friends:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the rumor-mill has not yet reached you, then it
is with mixed feelings that Anna and I must tell you that we are leaving Storvik
for the Barony of Loch Salann. We will be rejoining friends and family
there, and this brings us joy. But we will be leaving friends and our
adopted family here, and this brings sadness. Most of you know that Anna
and I never really took to this area. But, we took to all of you. It
is without doubt that it was our friendship with all of you that gave us our
fondest memories and greatest happiness here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will be departing on the 29th of May. Anna
will be following close behind after the house is packed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you all,</FONT></DIV>
