I had a very preliminary conversation with my dentist the other day about the two of us running a photo workshop to Vietnam. Julie got out of Saigon at the age of 22 just before the fall of the American Embassy and she has a brother and several other relatives who live there. (She goes back on occasion so is current with today's political climate) Vietnam is a beautiful country, the people are wonderful and Julie would act as interpreter and guide. I have mentioned this to the Coupeville Arts Center and they would be willing to sponsor such a trip if there was enough interest. My talk with Julie and the Arts Center predated the current talk of Vietnam on the LUG but I thought with the thread still active I would throw out the idea and see if any of you had any interest in such a trip. At this point, I would have no idea as to the cost, but it would not be cheap. If any of you have thoughts about it please e-mail privately. Cheers, David Medley Whidbey Is.
