| Dear Friends: We head out for Big Sur this morning, Hampton and I, and the bus I will be going back for tonight and moving then. A good day it will be. The children got the chance to see the Aquarium at Monterey which is one of the previous videos. The videos you can see and download at www.akha.org or you can stream them at www.youtube.com/akhazauh. We got two good articles in two local papers. One in the Half Moon Bay Review: And one in the Santa Cruz Sentinel: I think the Thais should know we are coming. We have heard rumors that Richard P. Haugland has let go his Akha kids from Starfish Country Home, but still want to confirm that. Bobby Morse, arrested on rape charges as a result of allegations of hill tribe girls he took possesion of, is still denying involvment. Rumors are rife about family pay offs and victims being silenced. The US Embassy of course has stated to Congressman Wu (Oregon) that the Privacy Act is more important than children's Protect Act. However I think this case will continue to follow the man, with a lot of people interested if he is going to squirm out of this. It is also a message about what goes on with these missions. Yes, we are up to day 72 on our videos, we hope you find something of interest there. Ten days we will be in Santa Barbara and after that to the Thai Consul in Los Angeles before we head into the heat across Phoenix. Most certainly a lot more people know about the Akha than when we started.
