Hello Friends, Each year, I take about ten days to traverse roads I've never explored by way of my Harley Davidson. It's an exhilarating time for my mind, body, and spirit. With hours of open road, and the hum of my engine for company, I ruminate on life and business and sometimes I find a nugget or two worth sharing. This is the first of at least two articles. These are my vacation souvenirs. You can read it here: https://www.linkedin.com/pu/virtues-well-used-map-gene-wood

During the last week of May, Word4Asia hosted a live webinar regarding US - Sino relations during the current pandemic. It was attended by the senior leadership of our largest national clients. If you'd like a DVD copy of this meeting, please contact Dr. Gene Wood at [email protected]

I've had a gym membership for over 20 years. Since the virus, have not been able to go in. So, recently went to Dick's to create a small at-home thing that wouldn't be too much in Carol's way. All I could find was a yoga mat, a hand grip, a ten and forty pound dumbbell and a set of push-up extenders. Help! I'm looking for a few good exercises so I don't completely fall apart during the isolation. Any good ideas are appreciated. Please leave them here!... Photos below: The gear - that's what I've been able to round up. The lifter - you didn't actually think that was me, did you?! Sending out good wishes for a quick, healthy and prosperous return to normal in the hopefully not to distant future! Gene

Pre-isolation, the pandemic provided us with a unique opportunity to visit and learn from a colleague, Ed Appfel. Ed heads a team in Honduras that works to improve the lives of people living in some of the nation's rural communities. Photo Descriptions: - Honduran children perform a beautiful cultural dance. - Dr. Wood and his wife, Carol, support local building projects.... - Jorge, a TerraMica project worker, surveys the job. - 'Futbol' and boys - loved the world over! - Signing official documents that bring change.

As a lifelong fan of the game, Kobe Bryant's passing - along with his daughter Gianna, and their close friends and team mates - was a day we felt we needed to observe. Here are several photos from the memorial service.

We had a great visit with a close friend at the office recently. Our relationship with Living on the Edge is always a source of pride and joy.

Dr. Gene Wood and Liping Martinez traveled to Philadelphia just before the end of 2019 to visit American Bible Society. Here we are with our friends, Bob Briggs, Interim CEO, and Andrew Hood, VP of Global Ministries.

Your friends at Word 4 Asia wish you a very joyous Christmas Season and the best new year ever! These are photos of Dr. Gene Wood, his wife, Carol and their grandchildren on Christmas. Noel!

Gene and Liping enjoyed hosting our friend, Al Anderson, at our Orange County offices recently!

As an Ambassador member, Gene recently attended the meeting of the Los Angeles World Affairs Council. Larry Diamond addresses democracy around the world. I learn even when not in agreement. Life time learning.
