You are absolutely right, Glenn is quite extraordinary. I have enjoyed
his
friendship and his guidance for over ten years. I am glad he aboard with
PFP. I am sorry that I could not join you all by phone for the MOC meeting.
The surgery schedule run past 4pm.
As I indicated to you before, Dr. Scott and his group are very enthused
about the GW-PFP-Orotta partnership and he wants to get going as soon as
possible. I think it would be helpful for you to contact him and set up a
meeting for some time in early 2006. I am meeting his assistant to go over
some details sometime in the firs week of January.
I wish you, your family and staff at PFP a most joyous and happy Holiday
season as well as good health for 2006 and beyond.
Thank again for all that you have done and continue to do for so many.
Cheers.
Haile
