3. IH60 story
IH60 Resources
I have in happy instances initiated healthy interludes
here in heaven – International House. If he insists, I’ll
have infinite hats inscribed henceforth ‘International
House is Heaven!’ It’s happening. I’ve had it. Has it had
influence here? I hope it has. Hasn’t it? If honestly it
hasn’t, insist. How is heaven inclined? Happy?
Indifferent? Help is here in his innovative hands.
4. IH60 story
IH60 Resources
Incredibly happy in his infinitely healthy incremental
holdings in hallowed IH, humourless Ivor Hugheon
insisted he’d initiate huge investment happenings in
hybrid institutional homes if he improved his insipid
health. In his intimate hotel in invigorating Innsbruck,
idly humming incidental hymns, Ivor handed in his
increasingly hot image, having immediately hailed it.
‘International House! It’s heaven, innit?’ he insisted
heartily.

IH60 Resources
“We’d like to take you on a journey through the 60
