Hello to all from Marie Kortbawi

Email from Marie received on 8-5-6:

Dear All,

Thank you for your messages and concerns..

Great to hear from you.

How was Institute this year? Hope many were there.

As far as I am concerned, as most of you must know, things are quite sad and worrying in Lebanon , and unfortunately so far not getting any better.

I had to close the office the second day trouble started..only to come back once..

I managed to leave Beirut and now I am in Kuwait, at my brother's. I've just fixed my e-mails in a way to have forwarded here...- which explains the yahoo address.

I hope you're all doing fine and look forward to keeping in touch.

With my best regards,

Marie
