[GSBN] Fwd: strawbale in Brazil

[Derek Roff]

I do know André personally, and I think he would be a great addition to 
this list.  I'd be glad to have him in pretty much any group that I was 
a part of.  He is very knowledgeable, and shares his knowledge widely 
and skillfully.  He's also got a great sense of humor, which he adds to 
a global perspective on our movement and the world's needs.
