Mission accomplished, a million thanks to Julie! My cousin received my gift of Wallaby's book on Monday. Today (Thursday) I get the email: "I read the book yesterday. Very interesting." I answered her that she surprised even me, as I figured it would take her
two days flat to read.
So thanks again to Julie, thanks also to Wallaby for a quick dispatch and the personal inscription, not to mention for writing a wonderful book. And thanks to all you characters who helped with the spade work and have given me such a sense of personal connection with this great story.
