Laptop for Ethiopia

I am helping a Sudanese refugee in Addis Ababa get some training through the British Council courses. I'm wondering if anyone has a reliable laptop computer that is not being used which I could send to him. If so, it will be greatly appreciated. Please contact me at gedworks@islandnet.com or at 250-246-8176.

Thanks, Gary Geddes

Ride Needed to Thetis from Buckley Bay

My friend John Gilmore will be looking after our place while Ann and I are in the Yukon. He's on Denman at the moment and is looking for a ride from Buckley Bay to Thetis on June 12 or 13. If anyone is up-Island and would be able to pick him up, you can send him a message at the following email address: jn_gilmore@yahoo.ca 

You'll enjoy John's company. He's a charming man and a fine writer and storyteller.

Cheers,

Gary Geddes
