Hi Larry: Thanks for the great report on the recent meeting. It certainly shows that we have come a long way since Joan, You ,Ken , the general, the Tuchmans, Carol ,Robin , Nathan ,Joel and so many others began the effort to get more attention focused on finding a cure. But most important it appears that a path to the future cure has been laid for all to participate and bring as much weight to bear without needless waste or petty bickering I salute all at the meeting, all who have traveled to Washington or their local representative, all who have walked or just lent their words of encouragement and finally to those who can not share in our eventual success Sidney and Alan Dale
