- Hi there Jean!
-
- I would be honored to show your friend around here at Gally!
- I am a "hearie" so communication issues should be non-existant (I hope!)
- and in my third year here so I do know campus a little bit :)
-
- Also my girl friend happens to be from South Africa herself so I am sure that
- she'd love to meet another fellow country person :)
-
- Contact me personally at GAllua.bitnet to discuss this further....
