Hi Tatjana I do think he is busy but also I think he is not interested now as the people from this village have asked him to keep out of their business with certain things, large companies from other countries had tried to open a thermo-electric plant and had to have it scrapped as they didnt want it operating and polluting the area. I'll have to wait till I get to croatia to see him myself Im sure he will help me then. regards Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 1:53 PM Subject: Re: [CROATIA-L] Re: CROATIA-D Digest V05 #81 > Mary, maybe he is sick and unable to do it now. > Tatjana > > In a message dated 3/30/2005 11:13:35 PM Eastern Standard Time, > [email protected] writes: > > << one >> > Subj: RE: [CROATIA-L] Re: CROATIA-D Digest V05 #81 > Date: 3/30/2005 11:13:35 PM Eastern Standard Time > From: [email protected] (Maryanne Lawrie) > Reply-to: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > Hello Anettka > > I am quite aware that the priest may be busy with more than one parish as I > have communcated with him in the past and my parents are familiar with the way > things are done in that part of Croatia but it would be nice of the priest to > write back either way to say what he can and can not do.
