Thank you so much Roxann.  By the way, I just read your article from The 
Journal of Sustainability.  It was interesting and enjoyable to read..  

You mention elsewhere, on your blog, that the ginseng market has dried up 
becuase of economic crisis, and you asked for info from any of your readers 
in the know.  Do you know anything else yet?  I've never seen a ginseng 
root.,but your writings make the ginseng hunting culture seem very 
interesting ........bobford
