I may make it to the 21st century, yet. </div> <bR> <div> Customs went through the eye kits, and in the somewhat rushed repacking in the airport line, the refractometer cord got packed in the other case; all should be heading your way tomorrow via UPS. </div> <bR> <div> I have enclosed tokens of appreciation to you both in the laptop case; many thanks for what you have done, do and will do for Him, and your neighbor, including us/me. We were faithful in watching over / carrying the cases; we even have pictures of me at work for the eye department(refracting, carrying cases, watching), and if I can figure out how to download pictures from discs, chips, emails, etc,  I'll try to send it your way. </div> <bR> <div> Blessings to you both, Bill Johanson</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
