Post Received from our UK member

I received this email From Sue Griffiths a few minutes ago. (I'd emailed her the link to the article in the Mohave Valley News this week about her)

Hi Sally,

thanks for your email, I'm missing Arizona, the trips out and my friends and neighbours. I had made a big batch of cookies (the American way!) for the Bagdad trip but everyone scat so fast in the rain afterwards we were left with them. They went to next doors dog when we packed up.

We saw the article on line and our neighbour is saving a paper, but thank you. Story was that I went down to the office to see Jeff Mangum to ask permission to use this photo and the firey one he published a few weeks ago. Some of my students are writing their final dissertation on geohazards so I wanted to put them up on the students doing tornados and twisters online conference. While in the office Dominika recognised my accent (not so hard!) and asked for information on what we did in Bullhead as she was writing an article on relocation. Turned out, she is Polish, but did teaching in the UK at a school in the same town where I have my some of the University lectures. We had a great time looking at her photo album of familiar places Small world!

hello to all on the trail of gemmy things and I'm coming over in June so may see some of you then


best wishes Sue
