Lucky dog

A quick update, Brett and I decided to have our dog Lucky shipped over last month from Tonga! It was a long and complicated process, but she made it here and is adjusting to American life - leashes, dog food, toys, being indoors at night, colder weather, lots of attention from people, etc. and she's loving it. Thanks to all our friends still in Tonga that helped us with getting Lucky here! She is still skittish around new people here after being in Tonga, but is getting used to it here. And we bought a house since being back, so we will soon have a yard and more space for our pets. It is still a process adjusting to life back in America, but we are both working and still enjoying all the good food, friends and family, activities here, and hot showers. I still have dreams often of being back on the beach in Tonga or swimming in the reefs. And I have been working more on the Tonga travel guidebook, with two contributing writers that were also peace corps volunteers with us. The web address for the book and publishing company is http://www.otherplacespublishing.com/tonga.

Ofa Atu!

I am Tom Reed . Friends with Jason S. Because of your connection to the South Pacific , I would like to speak with you about my invention of a solar food dryer of my design. Research a Western Michigan University's Energy Learning Center ( Richard Shubert,et,al ) was done, revealing a steady doubling of ambient temperature. At 21c ( 72F ) will provide pasteurization and a one day drying time. I have been a guest speaker on the subject a Cranbrook Institute of Science, Jordon Energy Institute , Kalamazoo Community College, and have an open invitation to speak at Magill University ( Thomas Lawand,et al.) In Sohda 's " SOLAR CROP DRYING " there is an overview of the state of the art . We found nothing similar to my design. Please give me a call at 231 290 1062 or doctomreed@yahoo.com. Thanks. Tom Reed
