--The Linfield nursing students and their faculty are here, very tired and very excited about the coming 3 weeks. They’re starting to reset themselves – its 9 hours earlier at their home in Portland. After being here a few days we “old folks” from Arizona are reasonably well adjusted, and since the students are “kids,” we assume they’ll adapt easily. Internet permitting, I’ve been following the weather at home in Lakeside and I wish I could send some of our warmth your way - we’d welcome some of your cold.
