The Editor of the Newsletter has received the following e-mail:

Hello:  I'm Joan's cousin.  We live in the USA, and have started having monthly video phone chats with Joan and Jimmie. I've added your newsletter to my Internet favorites so I can keep up with what's happening in your community.

We've been roaming by land and sea for the last 8 years (We have our a travel blog website at http://www.callipygia600.com) and we're getting ready to settle down in Juneau, Alaska - another place with a strong sense of community.

Looking forward to keeping in touch with St. Cyrus events through Joan and Jimmie.

The Newsletter has had other messages from 'St Cyrus ex-pats' and others around the world who enjoy our website. It is obvious from the feedback we get about who visits the site that a lot of hits come from Canada, USA, Australia and New Zealand, typically countries where people emigrated to in great numbers in the last century.

We hope you enjoy Pat's blog and we would like to invite others to share their stories and blogs with us.
