Paul Goble’s 50 Windows on Eurasia Sun 24 Sep 2023     

Note to List: My apologies for the delay in preparing and distributing the items on this list. My wife and I had our first vacation in five years and I did not prepare Windows during it. That was followed by a recurrence of a heart problem that I had thought was behind me. I hope to resume a more normal distribution schedule in the coming weeks. Paul Goble
