I had to brief a General today. The General is a One star.. General Hertling. Very nice man and very personable.

I received compliments from all the GST members, so that was
encouraging. Now I just really need to make sure that the programs for the school repairs go through.

A really good thing happened when I watched a clip from the CNN news. The sheik that is on my education committee who is also an Imam at amosque was one of the members of the city council who was shown on the TV. He is very distinguished looking and wears this white wrapped turbin, please look at the photos, I look really goofy I was explaining how to work my camera when the photo was taken. I can't remember if I've sent this photo of the education committee of Baghdad, so forgive me if I've already sent it. Anyway they were getting ready to sign their new constitution or the beginning of the new constitution.

It's really great that I get to work with such influential people.
