Jeremy I have been to such a great younger parkinson-meeting today, Svend Andersen and some of the other guyes you maybe remember from Billund were there too. Geert, Erik and Poul V he is working in Legoland, and several other you may be remember. I hope most of them are going to Spain :-)) Have a nice week-end Sonia NEVER GIVE UP
