Dear Octobre, I am Chris Ystad's Grandma. I have really enjoyed
checking your website and all the photos that you put on there ...

... It is a wonderful website and I appreciate all the effort that goes into setting it up. I enjoy the persoal remarks that you make in response to your guests.

Last summer I felt like I was close to Chris and able to feel "caught up" on his summer work experience. We miss him a lot but know that these two summers have been a very good learning experience for him. Sitka is so beautiful. I hope one day we might be able to see it.

When you see Chris, will you say "hi" from his Grandpa Art and me?

Hope you will have a very sucessful summer.
Sincerely, Phyllis Moore

To Phyllis: I'll pass on the word Phyllis! Thank you! Chris is well thought of in our organization.
