[Idyllchat] Hal Taussig's Untours Foundation

[Elizabeth Killough]

We not only claim Rod and Sharon as tithers, we claim them as ambassadors 
for the foundation!!!  In the summer of '06, Sharon and Rod spent some 
rigorous days with Hal and with Mary LeFever (our dear friend, foundation 
board member, Untours staff member, and foundation donor) on the Rosebud 
Sioux Reservation learning about the wind farm project that the foundation 
is supporting. The weather was HOT, which the photos corroborate. The hosts 
on the reservation were delighted with the DePues as were Hal and Mary!

We hope to meet up with Sharon and Rod on the reservation this summer when 
we visit the straw bale housing project that we are helping to support. 
(This is the first Sharon and Rod are hearing about this!)

My best to you all!
Elizabeth
