Brooke, Wow! Although that doesnt really surprize me, I know the area, and
it is so different than kelowna. I worked treeplanting for years in my
youth <grin> for two guys based out of Grey Creek. We know lots of people
from that area, but have been so busy we have not made it back very often.
Would love to though!

Regards,
Joshua
p.s., could you post the adress for the BC home ed ass?
(thanks)

I'm still looking forward to a visit to the Kootenays (haven't forgotten our
discussions of last fall, Brooke) -- but at least I am sure I will get up to BC,
as I have just been confirmed as the keynote speaker at the BC Homeschooling
Association's "Graduation" ceremony at the annual conference June 9-10. Probably
will be presenting some workshops there too! Hope to finally meet some of you
beyond the world of dotcom!
