vinson jamir

[Suzanne Jamir]

Dear friends,

I believe that many of you know of the sudden passing of my father, Vinson F. Jamir, who spent a great deal of time on-line with the Baha'i Studies group. He enjoyed every second--in fact, being able to converse with so many fellow Baha'is in this way is one of the few things in this world that gave him pure joy.

Please feel free to contact me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with questions. Also, I'm trying to get in
touch with two of his old friends, Andrea Jordan and Jeff Miller. I know
Andrea Jordan used to live in Baytown, TX, taught ESL in China, and has two
children (Vahid and Deana). Jeff Miller, I believe, lives in Mexico. Any
form of contact information for these two would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and much love,
Nahal Suzanne Jamir
