Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Happy Thanksgiving Everyone....

[Jerry McIntire (jerry.mcintire]

Thanks Neil for your heartfelt message. I feel much the same way about all
of the cohousers I've met through the years of living with them, visiting
other communities, participating on this list, and now working together
with new LLC partners to start yet another community in Wisconsin. Much
thanks to all of you for all the good you've done and your commitment to
better housing and more community!

All the best,

Jerry
