I'm going to be offline for a couple weeks, but in the meantime, feel free to use my pictures for your website. However, I would appreciate the link to the location on my blog. I would very much like to see your new website once it is up and running. Thank you for your well wishes! I wish the same for you! Take care! Marla P.S. From what part of the Philippines are you?

I was examining the pictures you have specially the Memorial Cross. I'm considering using it fro my next website (not the one specified above). Needless to say, I will, of course, be asking for your permission and will give full credit of source as well as specify the link. Over and above the legal requirements for doing so, I am always an adherent to appropriate ethics and protocol. And my having been a former cadet of the Philippine Military Academy (Class '72 & '74) keep the Honor System I learned from that prestigious school very much etched in my heart. I pray that your blog site will attract more net traffic around the world. nestor I enjoyed visiting your blog site. I was examining the pictures you have specially the Memorial Cross.

Thanks for the comments, and I'm glad that you're finding my trip pics interesting. My parents are the ones who put me the habit of taking pictures during any trips and making an album of them at home. So I've always done that, but now with digital cameras, the number of pics taken has become almost ridiculous! Without the concern of running out of film (the good 'ole 36 shot rolls), we just kept snapping and snapping away. I tried to order prints for my personal album and found that we shot over a 1000! Ha! That's more than what I shot while in Turkey, a mere 750, ha ha ha! I wasn't blogging then, so those pics are all just in 4 albums. Anyway, obviously I can only share a small fraction of them, so will continue to do a bit more of that when I get the chance. Lori, thanks for the Ghost Soldiers recommendation. I found that my central library carries it, so I have ordered it. It is checked out for the moment, but I'm next in cue. I did look it up on Amazon, and there were good reviews on it. I also saw that there was a movie of it in the making, but it may have been canceled or postponed. Andrea had suggested After the Reich, but my library still doesn't have it yet. I'll keep checking. Oh, and by now you know that I already sent you my email address. Take care! Marla Hi ladies!

It was heart wrenching and I remember wondering how human beings could treat other human beings with such complete lack of compassion and respect. I hope to go to Baatan and see that memorial someday. Thanks for sharing your pictures! I actually was searching for your email address because Charter wiped out my entire inbox and I can't find it. Please send me an email when you get a chance. I need some info on your Champion juicer please. I think I need to buy a new one. Thanks!! Lori 8-) Hi Marla,
