THIS IS ESTEVEN 'LINGO' DIAZ ON THE RIGHT. HE IS A MEMBER OF OREGON NATIONAL GUARDS'
82nd CAV OF THE 41st BRIGADE FROM LEBANON, OREGON. HE IS PICTURED HERE WITH A UGANDAN
SOLDIER AT CAMP LIBERTY IN BAGHDAD, IRAQ. THEY ARE HOL;DING A WILLAMETTE SPEEDWAY
SHIRT. WILLAMETTE IS SENDING GOODIES TO THIS SOLDIER FROM ALBANY. OUR GOOD HOBBYIST'S
HAVE BEEN ASSISTING US. ONE SMALL BOY CAME IN ALONE A FEW WEEKS AGO WITH A REMOTE
CONTROLLED TOY HUMMER, COMPLETE WITH CHARGER AND BATTERIES.; I COULD TELL HE TRULY
LOVED THIS TOY. HE HANDED IT TO ME AND SAID, "THIS IS FOR THE SPECIAL SOLDIER". i SAID I HAD
NOT PLANNED ON SENDING TOYS. HE SAID THETY MIGHT HAVE EXTRA TIME TO PLAY WITH IT. HE
THEN ADDED, "AND IT WON'T MELT EITHER". THAT WAS A REQUISITE FOR SENDING ITEMS TO HOT
IRAQ. I TRIED TO COVER IT UP WHEN I DELIVERED TOW MORE LARGE GROCERY BAGS OF STUFF TO
THE SPEEDWAY. BUT THE LADIES AT THE WINDOW THERE GOT INTO IT AND THE NOTE OF EXPLANATION
I HAD TAPED TO THE TOY. I WAS RELIEVED TO LEARN THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A NEAT THING TO SEND.

WELL I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM LING. HE SAID THEY LOVED IT. THEY TIME HOW LONG IT TAKES
FOR A PERSON TO GUIDE IT AROUND A COURSE 15 TIMES THE FASTEST. KIND OF A RACETRACK OF
THEIR OWN IN IRAQ. IT PASSES LOTS OF THEIR TIME OFF.

SO TO THE BOY THAT BROUGHT THAT IN, GOOD SHOW AND THANKX. THANK YOU TOO TO THE MANY
OTHERS THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE THREE SHIPMENTS OF GOODIES TO LINGO. OUR BOYS ARE
THERE TO HELP PROTECT THE REST OF US. THEY ARE NOT SETTING POLICIES. THEY ARE THEIR FOLLOWING
ORDERS. aLL THOSE IN THE UNIT ARE ENJOYING THESE DELIVERIES.

THIS IS KORRU JANAKI. WE STARTED SPONSORING HER ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. SHE IS
A DAHLIT OR UNTOUCHABLE. ANYONE OF NTHE OTHER HIGHER CASTES IN INDIAS' CASTE
SYSTEM MUST NOT HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH HER, OR THEY WILL BE CAST OUT AND LOOSE
ALL OF THEIR RIGHTS, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS. NO MATTER WHAT KORRU ACHIEVES IN
SCHOOLING AND NO MATTER HOW MANY GOOD DEEDS SHE ACCOMPLISHES IN LIFE, SHE
WILL ALWAYS BE AN 'UNTOUCHABLE'. THIS GIRLS MOTHER DIED AND HER FATHER IS TOO
BUSY WORKING TO CARE FOR HER. AND, AS A CHRISTIAN, SHE IS NOT ENTITLED A FREE
EDUCATION. SO SHE SIGNED UP FOR A BOARDING SCHOOL NEAR NANDAYAL, INDIA. SHE
HAS NOW MOVED ON. WE ARE NOW SPONSORING A BOY AT THE SAME BOARDING SCHOOL.

THIS IS V. PRAVEEN. HE IS OUR NEW CHILD AT BIRDS NEAR NANDAYAL, INDIA.
WE WILL LET YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM SOON.

TANKS FOR TEACHERS!
FOR YEARS WE HAVE SPONSORED SOME TEACHERS IN THEIR
CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION. MAINLY THOSE TEACHING THE SCIENCES. A FAVOURITE WAS
MR. SELBY OF PHILOMATH. HE SOLD THINGS AND WORKED AS A TIMBER CARNIVAL CLOWN
TO GET EQUIPMENT FOR THE SCHOOL. FIRST TWO LARGE FIFTY-FIVE GALLON AQUARIA WITH
CHILLERS SO THEY COULD STUDY TROUT AND SUCH FROM FISH AND WILDLIFE. THEY WERE
FOR THE BIOLOGY AND SCIENCE CLASSES AND HE TAUGHT FORESTRY. HE WAS A GREAT
TEACHER. HE WAS DOING HIS CLOWN ROUTINE AT THE TOP OF A SPAR POLE IN ALASKA AND
FELL TO HIS DEATH. WE ALSO SUPPORTED TWO TEACHERS FROM NORTH ALBANY MIDDLE
SCHOOL FOR A DECADE OR SO. AND WE WORKED A LOT WITH LYNDEN BROWN AT LEBANON
UNION HIGH SCHOOL. HER STUDENTS MADE MANY, MANY TRIPS TO ALBANY TO OBTAIN NEW
STOCK WITH WHICH TO STUDY. SHE HAS RETIRED. WE WORKED A LITTLE AND PLANNED ON A
LOT MORE WITH AN AQUARIUM CLUB. HOWEVER THEY NO LONGER WISH TO WORK WITH US
ON THIS SO WE ARE GOING ON OUR OWN. WE DO PLAN AND GETTING A NICE TANK FOR A
NORTH ALBANY MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER. AND A NEAT HIGH POWERED LIGHT AND MORE.
ALSO WE HAVE INTEREST FROM A TEACHER AT A MIDDLE SCHOOL IN INDEPENDENCE. ALSO
A SCHOOL IN THE SALEM AREA. WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED AS WE GET THINGS ACCOMPLISHED.

THE SCHOOLS BEING ASSISTED BY US THIS YEAR ARE THE FOLLOWING;
TALMAGE MIDDLE SCHOOL IN INDEPENDENCE/MONMOUTH, OREGON
NORTH ALBANY MIDDLE SCHOOL IN ALBANY, OREGON
SAINT VINCENT DEPAUL SCHOOL IN SALEM, OREGON

WE WILL UPDATE YOU ON WHAT THEY ARE DOING LATER
