Em and Glen Barden left on KLM for Amsterdam last night. They should be in the states heading to their home in Lakeland, Florida, as I write. They spent two weeks with us here in Addis Ababa at the Korean hospital. Glen is a hand surgeon, and it took a week before we got into any hand surgery, but when we did Glen did some fine stuff. Unexpectedly the first week was a course for Sign Nail certification followed by the Ethiopian Society of Orthopaedics & Traumatology 4th annual meeting at the Ghion Hotel. Glen, Dr. Hailu, and I attended and made many new friends. Em shared her experiences and strengths. Their gentle and sweet personalities endeared them to the staff, patients, and the many new international friends. We thank them for giving of their time and sharing of their experiences and hopes with us, and we all would gladly welcome them back in the future. (See slideshow in sidebar.)-- Don
