Hi Donna
Good to hear from you. The project is starting to shape up, but will are
still going through the process of the teams and different institutions
getting to grips with their own patch and integrating it into the whole
research project.
Not sure whether I will make it to the meeting on the 14th as work is
quite hectic at the moment. The topic is certainly interesting.
Regards
Marcus

Happy Holidays, Marcus --
I plan to attend the meeting on January 14. It will be very interesting
for me, as a relative newcomer to the UK.
As a gerontologist/designer, I think the same could be done for older
people as is suggested for children in item number 2. What do you think?
How is the research project going with Vanaj?
I look forward to seeing you on the 14th and wish you a Merry Chirstmas
and Happy New Year...
