 Hi Trula:
 I just wanted to let you know that I really liked your article. 
  read it in the Digger magazine of the Oregon Association 
 of Nurserymen.  I am Hispanic and work in a health clinic 
 where 30 % of our clients are Hispanic.  I posted your 
 article on our bulletin board. Several people have made
 very positive comments about it. You've written it in such 
 a way that all the Hispanic employees can relate and
 understand every point you make. Other employees have 
 also said that they had never read an article so full of
 information that helped them understand my culture.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Diana
