And the Ludwigs in the U.S.A. also want to send a sunny California holiday greeting to Erich and all his friends and colleagues around the world. We too miss having the entire family together for the first time in 28 years, but are heartened to know that Erich is having "good times" in Mali.

It is not a wonderful time in our world for those of us who long for peace and good will among mankind. Somehow, the Christmas season makes the strife around us even more poignant. As we said in our holiday message, please join us in praying for others around the world less fortunate than we are, and for wisdom to overcome the discord, violence, and hunger that disturb us so much.

Merry Christmas to all.
