Hi Dan, It was fabulous meeting you at the Elderberries event this week. I cannot fully put into words how badly I needed to hear the oral history that you provided; it prompted something in me to shift. I’d very much like to continue that discussion over coffee sometime if you have the time. With care, Austin
