Hi Steven,

My brother, who lives in Vancouver with his wife, tells me weather there is
genereally nice.  It sounds like a great area.  Looks like it as well from
the pictures he's sent me

That's cold :( :(  but thankfully it's much too early for snow here..

We've had years when celebrating  Halloween on Oct. 30th, meant wearing
snow-jackets over your costume :)  I'm hoping the fair weather in Sept.
will continue in October :)

>> We will miss you if you decide to leave Steven!

> Thank you for that.

Sure, it was good to see some of my cousins post on facebook as well.. Gui
or not, I don't think I could convince them to join Fidonet, or log in as a
user 

> In any case, I'll think on it.

Thanks Steven :)

Take care,
