Kehaulani! Ruth emailed this presentation to me - I just finished listening to your program - job well done by our own Amy and Ruth and Jean O'Brien. I plan on passing this onto other Estern Pequots who I believe with find it quite interesting.
Again, thank you for ALL that you do - it is greatly appreciated.
