[GSBN] Fwd: strawbale in Brazil

[John Swearingen]

Hi all,

Although I don't know Andre, I was in Brazil in December and was able to
visit with a couple of friends of mine who have recently lived at IPEC, and
I'm impressed with their knowledge and work.

I'm sure Andre would be a great addition to this community.
