Jeremy,

Yes it really was a wonderful gesture. Wonderful people. I yearn to visit with them again someday.

Jonzee,

There is a large Punjabi population in and around Vancouver, BC (Surrey). The Sikh Temple here in Spokane is about a mile from my home. They sure get in the holiday spirit with the rest of us! The place is lit up like Rockefeller Center. They are the most welcoming folks I've ever met. The jam probably was Nabob brand. Popular in India, too!

Happy Christmas and Best Wishes to all in the New Year!!

Peace,

Jeff
