Dear Folks,
We got here yesterday morning and so far our main project has been creating a library with Mr. Lindquist (county librarian) who believes in making a thorough job of anything. Jan & I are next door to the assistant librarian who believes sightseeing is important too so we can go around with a clear conscience.
