Just wanted to offer my congratulations, on behalf of the University of
North Carolina Institute on Aging, on your 21 year 'coming of age'
anniversary. Thanks for the invitation. It is frustrating to me that I will
actually be close (connecting through Heathrow) that afternoon, but unable
to stop over to attend the celebration. My best wishes to all.
