So, I came into Alice Springs & was very much surprised to find such nice people to comfort me & fell me feeling at home! There was not only a room, there was so much more; wine nice kalbs with Margaret & Alf & you did so much extra for me. Bringing me in town to the Flying Doctors, to the Telegraph Station, eating here, feeling me at Home! That’s so much/many different than staying in a hotel where you’re lonely! After a come back after a 5 day camping & my clothes were washed & dry all at once. I felt really at home here. Thank you so very much for all this being the first time in Australia to see the country where my son Freeh was so happy this year that I want to see it myself! And so I did. It was very nice seeing the School of the Air & the “Outlands” the desert & the long, long, roads. When ever you come to Holland; you just call me & I show you where I live & be happy.
