    Hi.

    I ran across this article in the NYT. Take a look at the slide show link. I can't believe he managed to be under the weight limit of 4.4 pounds, which is the limit imposed by the BFPO (British postal system). It's a nice story about his efforts to gather just the "right" things to put in the care package for his friend.

    I had to laugh about the salami!

    Enjoy.

    Gee, it brought a tear to my eye. All the thought that went into it, and then to have the resources to go out and get these things from the people that he did. What a great idea, though. I hope we get to hear how his friend reacts to the package!
