Dear Alice,

I have been having a friendly correspondence with a member of the PDRecoverers,Mr.Marcilio Dias dos Santos. He liked my paintings and published them with my internet site
http://nora.safire.com
in the very well written and edited information bulletin MAldePArkinson of which he is the webmaster It is in Portuguese and there is a French translation. If I know the contents I can also guess what the Portuguese text is saying - more or less.
Then he established another site for my paintings with the internet site address
http://www.noragafir.kit.net/index.html

All my efforts to enter this site failed, I got two different technicians to try, I asked the company who gives me internet service, they said the trouble is not on my side, it has to be taken care of from the Brazilian angle, A friend of mine in the U.S. had no difficulty to open and see the site.
For the New Year I wrote to Marcilio, but when I wanted to see what I had written, there was a blank page under the address as if my text was wiped off. I never encountered such a thing. I think that Marcilio did not get my letter and he may have written and I did not get it. Brazil is not on planet Mars !
His e-mail address is marciliosantos@hotmail.com.
He also wrote to use the address:marciliosantosMP@blogger.com.This is the address which is in my address register and which I usually use.. I think he may think me very uncivil by not replying.

I mentioned that that there is a famous monastery in the Sinai desert (Egypt) called Santa Catherina, as he lives ina town of that name.

I believe there is not much use to try and force the issue of having another site in his publcation, but I want him to know that I did my best.

Would you please be so kind to send this letter to Marcilio with my best compliments and greetings.

Thank you indeed.

Kind regards, Nora
