And she came across Mma Ramotswe, and this changed her mind about taking her life. And she wrote me a very nice email saying that this had happened. Well, what can one say in those circumstances?

...meeting with URC last November, the developers voiced their desire to convert the remaining condominiums into rentals, but has not met with the plaintiffs since, according to Gray. “Instead of coming out and saying, ‘look we’ve changed our mind,’they’ve ignored us since November,” said Gray. Equity Residential spokesman Marty McKenna declined to comment on the project because litigation is still pending.
