A Personal Note
Yesterday, as I was picking an orange for breakfast, I thought about how I'm lucky to be alive! After much soul searching, I have decided to take a rest from an active role in our division. Also, I will not be attending the annual meeting.

I will continue to edit the newsletter & have a role in some behind-the-scenes activities. We now have some young people who are willing to step up to the plate. This will give me a much needed rest.

Microscopy Short Course
In previous years we taught seven courses. This year we will finally have a short course during our Annual Meeting. I'm so proud of everyone. We have finally achieved a goal of not having short courses at other times. I know that we will be very successful in this endeavor. Click here to read more.

North to Alaska
Marge, Dave McCutcheon, Glenn Kobata & I were among the group that cruised from Vancouver, BC to Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, & other ports in Alaska. We then set out on a land tour which included Denali & Fairbanks.

I've included a few pictures of our awesome & fun trip. As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words.
