Dear Maureen,
I trained with your group at the University of Kentucky but did not go to Sri Lanka due to my draft status. I was wondering if you had any photos from that time or a copy of the group booklet with our 'bios' that you would be willing to share with me?
Thanks for your reply,
David Putney
