SO LONG. IT'S BEEN NICE TO KNOW YOU... .....

But we had to move on. Before the ennui of the Islands engulfed us and our dreams of fame and fortune succumbed to that delicious torpor which makes " laid back " seem hyperactive.

In eight years we learned to love Coll , but unfortunately , it Is not always possible to live with the one you love. The relationship must deteriorate if forced. So, we left with happy memories , grateful for the experience which has enriched our perspective of life, nostalgia already embryonic. Coll Is a special place; we left fully certain that there is nowhere quite like It. Thank you Collachs, for accepting us Into your community. However peripheral our belonging seemed to you , we did consider ourselves privileged to be part of a rare way of life. The world out here is a very unfriendly place in comparison. If Joanna and Ron are even half as happy as we were at Coll Boy's they'll be doing fine. Our very best wishes to you all.

Denis, Carol and Dana
