Jan,

Greetings and welcome!

Your enclave page is excellent. I'm the guy who did the Point Roberts
page.

I'm a 38 year old television producer who lives in Vancouver, Canada,
some 40 minutes from Point Roberts.

I'm currently at the Banff Television Festival pitching some documentary
ideas... including the GCEBE and one that is in your neighbourhood: the
story of Narva, Estonia and Ivangorod, Russia. I came across a print
article telling how Narva wanted to join Russia back in the early 90's...
and now, are thankful they didn't. Narva has a good economy and a future
while Ivangorod is poor and without much hope. And all that separates
them is a river. Interesting story...

Anyway, enough of my chatter. Welcome to BP! I look forward to your
contributions.

Doug
