My Email Connection

There were several weeks at the start of my Fulbright residency when chaos, uncertainty, helplessness and illness dominated my experience, caused by the loss of my money in Russia, the effort to recover it in Armenia, the uncooperative reception given by YSC's vice rector, the difficulty in establishing the Jazz library, and the intractable respiratory virus that sapped my energy and lingered for several weeks.

What helped to sustain me throughout my journey was my email connection to friends and colleagues abroad. I'm extremely grateful for the messages of kindness, humor and support I received.
