Frankly I use this board to keep up on application deadlines and what not, and so I do not check my mail box. I hope this note finds you well. I hope your work is going well. I am meeting so many people doing interesting work on Belfast and community relations. I was at a conference at Queens last spring and a friend of mine took me on a walking tour. I saw your Martin Luther King mural on the Falls Road. Next time you are over in NI, you would be most welcome in Scotland. Perhaps we could arrange for you to give a talk here.

With warm wishes,

Jeffrey

I hope to open a line of communication with you. It seems we share some common interests so I wanted to make my introduction. I'm Chris from New Orleans. I'm studying Comparative legal systems at Tulane Law School and am very interested in Human Rights and Mediation and Negotiation. Given our common interests this might be a good way to start communication so we can refer to each other in the future. Please take a minute to view my page and leave a message if you like.

peace.

P.S. Any chance of you stopping the fighting between O'bama and Clinton? It sounds like you may be able to do something before actual fisticuffs ensue. :)
