Robert, I am sorry to have missed this thread (and many others) prior to Christmas, but I want to thank you for the delightful photo and the Good Wishes of your family. I hope to meet you all in person before I grow very much older!

In my turn, I wish you all a truly happy and healthy 2009.

Mes souhaits sincères,

Take care,
Ham.
