Hello my friend! Lots of interesting background here I did not know about. You have such a vast knowledge of the Huichols. That must have been quite an experience living with them!

Unfortunately Joanie is no longer with us! We think about her a lot though she’s gone and celebrate her birthday since she was a joy to know!

Delfina hello! I just registered on this AHS website and am seeing names off many I knew in my years there. You are one of those I see that you live in Austin, Texas too! We (my husband, Bill) and I are in Dripping Springs on a Ranch near Pedernales State Park. Let’s catch up if you’d like to?
