[kzy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi there,
	Thank so much for the suggestion.  I am preparing to do what I can
and I will seriously take your suggestions into account.  I hope we all
can do something. Will write to you more later.

Yours sincerely,

"If you give a man a fish, he will have a meal. 
 If you teach him to fish, he will have a living. 
 If you are thinking a year ahead, sow a seed. 
 If you are thinking ten years ahead, plant a tree. 
 If you are thinking one hundred years ahead, educate the people. 
 By sowing a seed once, you will harvest once. 
 By planting a tree, you will harvest tenfold. 
 By educating the people, you will harvest one hundredfold."  (ANONYMOUS
CHINESE POET, 420 B.C.)
