Wood Art Gallery Thank you for sending this, I am writing on behalf of Abdul Hay Musallam, an artist whose works are part of the Made in Palestine exhibit. He is very pleased that the exhibit is opening in Vermont and appreciates the invitation and hospitality offered, but he does not have the funds to travel to the US, so he will not be able to come. He send his best wishes for success. I am an american living in Amman, Jordan, where he lives. It makes me so happy that people are working to spread understanding of the Palestinian issue and culture in the US where it is so needed--keep up the good work. sincerely, sally >From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL >PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL >PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL >PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: "Made in Palestine" Opens in Vermont, October 18 through November >20, 2005, at the T.W.
