Well I just wanted to remind you that I'm leaving next Friday for South Africa. I can't believe it, but I know it is true. If I do not hear from you before then I will be sure to drop you a post along my way. I'll return to USA July 19th and hope to see you soon after! --John

John,

You're almost finished! Congratulations. Be sure to walk up Table Mountain and take the cable car down. Visit the University of the Western Cape, the most dynamic university in the Cape, too. Have a wonderful trip south and a safe one home. Don't forget to bring a little soil of Tanzania and the Cape home with you. It will be nice to touch from time to time. I hope you will be able to travel with your South African friend. Keep a journal. See you in July. I will be teaching 2nd session then--office hours 8:30-9:15. Come by or call. We will have to celebrate. Thanks for having kept in such good touch. All the best. Dr. K.
