Subject: Sam stones

John

It was great to see you in the airport. What a coincidence – just days before we headed to Europe with the honor and responsibility to place three Sam Stones.

I wanted to write to thank you for the experience. It was quite emotional for our family – me in particular.

Dan and Cori placed the first two. One in a tree in the Mirabelle gardens in Salzburg – a beautiful city. The second in the gardens of the Hohenschwangeau (sp?) castle – boyhood home of King Ludwig who built the Disney inspiring castle he never lived in.

The third inspired this note. I placed it at the base of the Staubach falls in the Lauterbrunnen valley in Switzerland – a remarkably stunning place. We have had less than optimal weather – completely clouded over blocking all views of the Alps three highest peaks. I was feeling a bit down but this placed it all in perspective for me. It simply did not matter – I was with my family.

Thank you,

Bill, Cori, Dan and Seldon

Hi John,

Friends Fram and Jenine write
 

Jeanine and I just placed the first SamStone in Lebanon!  I sent a message via Samstones.org, but the picture was too large to send.  We placed it in a tree during our morning walk, overlooking the Bay of Jounieh and Beirut in the distance. 

As promised, we placed the first SamStone in the country of Lebanon.
While on a walk this morning, we placed the SamStone in a tree in the
town of Kfour, overlooking the seacoast of Lebanon and Beirut (the
capital). I tried to upload the photo, but it said it was too large,
so I will send it via email.
 
I will be placing one more SamStone in another location in Lebanon and will send the details once complete.

Please give my regards to Diane……..Fram
