[Omd] ABC's in the US, international support, and more

[joeli r]

Hey,

I chatted with roger last night-when I asked him if there is any
support he needs, he says he doesn't need anything right now.  My
feeling is that the letters and articles sent definitely help him!

I would be open to meeting-the next couple of weeks are busy, so I
can't guarantee I'll be able to attend.  But if I'm not working or out
of Ottawa, I'll attend.

Thanks Matt,
Joeli
