Dear friends,

Well, after 2 long years of restrictions, border closures, jabs and boosters, sickness and disappearances of friends and relatives, it seems the pandemic is coming to an end. It is not completely gone and we may have to learn to live with it but things are improving. And in our little corner, it looks we are going to be able to join again in our, twice postponed, Switzerland Meeting. That if some deranged dictator does not start WW3 by nuking his neighbors and the rest of the World.

So, Switzerland it is. Let us get the cobwebs out of the ol'suitcase and let's get ready.

The program is at the bottom of the page. It will coincide with the century old Desalpes when the cattle is brought down from the high mountain pastures to the valley for the winter.

Daniel, our host, has also selected a series of interesting intertainements for all of us.

Please let him know ASAP who is coming, as he needs to have 'numbers' to get things going. Also how we are going to arrive there: airline, private aircraft, train, car, horse back, camel back, unicycle with flux capacitors, roller-skates or on simply on foot…

Also let him know if some of us will arrive early and stay after the Meeting.

Looking forward at seeing you there after all the waiting…
Take care, stay safe,
Very sincerely

Daniel
