  1. Hey Mad! Great to hear you are there and gathering stories. Sounds like the "organic farming" there has little to do with plants, and more to do with people:) Great news came in the mail yesterday--you've been accepted to Western! Congratulations!:) All's well here. We think of you all the time. Hope to hear from you again in a week or so, but know why if not. Love, Mom
