Don’t know why I didn’t post to this earlier, but [iampunha@netscape.net](mailto:iampunha@netscape.net) for those who didn’t know.

And I’m in Vienna (Fairfax County), FWIW.

Just to add to my post, I can enlist various friends to arrange telephone contact in Vietnamese, Cantonese, Thai, Spanish, Arabic, and Korean.

I hate to do this, but I need to withdraw as a contact / message relayer. As if yesterday wasn’t stressful enough, I found out late last night that my brother would be going into the hospital for a liver/double-kidney transplant this morning. As a consequence, my availability will be compromised, and I don’t want anybody relying on me to call people if I know I’m not going to be around.

Jeez, CERVAISE, hope your brother is okay – prayers and best wishes to you and your family.

I’m in Seattle and will call anywhere. E me if I can assist in anyway.
