Hi Elena,
Welcome aboard! Boy, hasn't this been a rocky road! It has been
interesting to watch the opinions of some of the 'old hands' mellow
over the last 12 months or so. I think this may be because of the
Blue issue. Perhaps we are the lesser of two evils? LOL!

With needing info and pics, this is the place! We have some very,
very experienced international members, with some talented, working
LHs. Have a bit of a look through the Photo albums, especially that
of fellow Alaskan, Snowydiamonds. I have just had a look myself for
the first time, now, THAT is amazing!

With Ginny, my understanding is that she indeed does not 'do' email,
and you do have to call her. There may well be an email address, but
that doesn't mean it's checked often!

I am, and I am sure we all are, very interested to see how this goes.
I have to say that it has always seemed so very silly to me that LHs
are not recognised in the US! Like the rest of the world is just so
wrong, including where they are originally from!

So welcome, and I hope that we can help you in your aim.

Cheers,
Wendy Laigne-Stuart
