I recently had to return to Oz for a funeral and thought many of those things, but not quite so eloquently stated. I also know many people who were in Blair’s circle, but I never had the chance to meet him myself.

Having such mixed experience on your trip back must be a bit tough. I hope you and the people around you are able to deal with it all the best possible way.

In any case, thanks again for taking the time to catch up on your visit.Thanks also for sharing your story and for living an inspiring life. It has been great to meet you in DC and wonderful to see you again in Adelaide. I hope there will be more opportunities to chat and catch up again in the future.
