Hello Nancy
It has been time since my last letter to you. I am still working at ABS
and the company is doing well. This is very fortunate as many of
my friends have lost their jobs. Our savings have taken
a disastrous dive because of the economy. I know
the situation everywhere is difficult and I am happy I still have a job.
My friend Michael and his wife Georgia are living now in Virginia.
Michael has finished studying massage therapy. He is running
a small clinic in partnership with another woman. He and Georgia are
looking (have been looking) for a full time job, though, as they have lost
money also. As I say, many people are having a hard time now.
