Paulie's AFS "sister" at last made it Downunder! Paulie lived with Ree and her family in New Canaan, Conneticut in 1973- 74. We had seen Ree and Neil in 2008 when we visited them in Valencia. Ree has lived there for 30 + years. Neil and Ree were on a tour for the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. We had great catch up with side trips to Sydney and Noosa. Freddy the Frog from "Ferndale Tales" joined the girls on their adventures.
