While I can scan the faces I remember from the time, I have no way of
knowing which were you and Gerda, now. Oh, well; they'll be there, somewhere
deep in my subconscious, working away  - like beer or something !-)

C'est la vie, I suppose, but it seems to have been genuinely hard to think
of positive things to do, that work. Still, the Fieldworker idea caught on
in New Zealand, partly as a result of info. I brought back from America, and
is still going, in rather modified form.

Maybe it's like farm animals - it's more important to actually talk to them
than *how* you talk to them, according to some research I read about once.
Extrapolate that to the TS if you will ....

They should. It's quite a resource, for those who like resources.
