Gigi Halloran Turbo, I am honored to be a Friend; happy travels
Mary Metz Hey Turbo, First time viewer, first time caller... I'm catching up on your page and while I wish we could be *friends* rather than this hierarchical "fan" business I want to thank you for posting the Andes video. It was fascinating. XOXOX ps. Thanks to Dr. Boersma for fixing us up.
