Thanks for the encourging news- al in louisiana first visit to roatan was in 1973, door were left open at night and everyone said good morning or good night money and progress does bring on changes, unfortunately some of the investment money should be utilized to upgrade those value which we hold dear to us. If we are the reason for the changes, then we should be the reason for righting the ship. If the officails are out to "get theirs" then theirs must be that which we have to offer or that which we bring to the island. fair exchange is nver a roberry- use some of the monies to provide the propet potection to ensure if not guarantee our quality of life. see you in JULY 2005 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roatan Rick" To: Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 4:00 PM Subject: [roatan] Crime on the rise on Roatan > > > It's true that crime is on the rise and has been for a long time.
