Thank you greatly for this link Michelle. I have spent all of today avidly reading the entire site. What a beautiful person William DAWES appears to be from his entries. And how wonderful to be able to read his side-comments and at times to be able to almost visualise the scene. And to even be able to date those little conversations! Wow! What a wonderful source! But I had a laugh at the translation for Bora, which I had been brought up to know as a sacred cermonial site. Whenever I read this word in the future, I will have a smile on my face. Thanks so much Michelle for providing such a glorious site. Season's Greetings: Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michelle Nichols" ...
