Well if you are ever in town Paul. I’ll take you for a few brews. Thanks for helping the Haitians. Tis a pity the USA doesn’t do more in the country. Maybe they should just have sent in the marines and annexed country at least temporarily!
Well merry Xmas to you and your family and a happy new year!
Best
