Letters to the Editor
Hola Bill & Dot. Would you please add Gregg & I to your subscription list for the Express. Thanks.
Editor,
What you provide is very very good. Your web site fails to explain just how good your road logs are !
We are driving from Quebec to Costa Rica starting December 28; your logs will be helpful.
Indeed, your website has been helpful.

I feel like I know you after having coffee with you and your wonderful publication each morning. What an incredible gift to the community of Jaltemba Bay and the rest of us "wanna be's" from all over the globe.
I would like to have permission to reprint your restaurant list with maps and reviews for friends and guests at our house.I also like the map you use and wonder if you might provide a link to it in a full view version. Thank You,
Sherry
I LOVE YOUR NEWSLETTER !!!!!!! My parents spend about 5 months a year at your trailer park and I, along with my husband and 2 children, come every year to visit. We all love to check the NEWS each day in hopes of seeing pictures of the wonderful people we have met there over the years. Each fall I find it hard to see my parents leave for another country not knowing what is in store for them health wise etc. BUT, when I log-on to see that they are well entertained (thanks George), able to give back to the beautiful people of Mexico who welcome them every year, and just enjoying life in general it makes it much easier for me to relax.
Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing everyone again in February.

How we miss not being in La Peņita for the winter! No volleyball, no taco night at palapa, and no potluck dinners.
However, we are happily settled in our new home which is conveniently located near grocery store, shops and our doctor's offices. It seems our daily schedule revolves around various medical appointments! Getting old sucks! I have all the gardening I desire with the pots of flowers on my front and back porch.
Several months ago Ted fell and broke 4 ribs, but he has fully recovered and has resumed his usual daily activities--short walks and TONS of CNN news on TV.
All the kids, except Joe and family are coming here to celebrate Christmas, so as usual it will be a "full house" at the Lerches for Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all our friends in the La Peņita Trailer Park. We sure miss you and wish we were there. Thanks for all the happy memories.
 Another year will come to a close! Our thoughts and best wishes go out to you and your family for much health and happiness in 2007. Love,
Jerry & Anita Aschenbrenner

Community Help
Augustine Leon
Express Readers Donate $495! Wonderful Community Support!
Community Support Update
Augustine Leon has been very sick for 20 years. He used to work as a farm laborer and is now supported only by the good graces of his niece. You have probably seen him around town especially if you drive down the beach road in La Peņita. He is not eligible for IMSS medical care because he is not working. He cannot work because of his appearance and health. This is a vicious circle we would like to break.
His face has open sores and he experiences major digestive problems. Until now he has been unable to afford to go to doctors and follow through with specialists. He also does not understand simple procedures such as taking blood for analysis.
George, of the Hotel California fame, has led the cause to raise money to assist Augustine get medical treatment. The Jaltemba Express Readers have generously responded with just under $500 to assist in this effort. We all thank you. The money is well accounted for and George has strict guidelines and collects every receipt. Your money is going directly to medical help and there of course no administration or other charges.
So far Augustine has seen a local doctor and had some tests. A specialist came down from Tepic just to see him and discounted his fee when he heard about the community involvement. The doctor specializes in anti-immune disorders.
Augustine has now been given medication to reduce the sever inflammation on his skin. He will soon go in and get more tests, including biopsies, to help diagnose the problems. It is likely that he has a multiple of problems.
So far 600 pesos have been spent on doctors and medication. We expect the tests and lab work to be pricey.
We are going to do a home assessment soon to ensure that Augustine has clean linens and clothing. This may be an opportunity to clean your closets and ensure that these clothes reach a needy soul. Stay tuned.
Again thank you for your support. We want to additionally thank George, who with a very busy schedule, has made time in his life to drive Augustine to appointments, wait for hours in doctors offices etc. This is not an easy task.
