On balloons, one time I Keji I found one with the name of a bank in NE
</div>=20
<div>
on it. I wrote to the bank expressing my displeasure at that and got
</div>=20
<div>
a very nice letter from a vice-pres apologizing for the incident and say=
ing
</div>=20
<div>
that he hadn't known they would cause a problem. He then assured me =
that it=20
</div>=20
<div>
wouldn't happen in the future.
</div>=20
<div>
So if anyone picks up a balloon with a name, write them, politely or oth=
erwise.
</div>=20
<div>
expressing your displeasure. Maybe the media could get on this also.

Enjoy the summer

a highlight of the trip. A bad part of the trip were the dozens of party b=
