Namtram: We arrived home safely and after a little jet-lag I can now tell you what a wondeful experience we all had. You are a magnificent host and I appreciate all your efforts. I only hope I was able to contribute what you wanted for the program and that you felt we did a good job. Please tell everyone involved that I said thank you to them for all their help. I hope you can come visit sometime in St. Louis with your family, and I hope you will invite us back if you do another Retina program in future. Again, thank you for all your kindness. Joe Olk, Mary & Cindy
