Israel,

You ole dog!  G?day from beautiful Melbourne!  I thanked Shirley for forwarding me your initial correspondence for the 40^th Reunion, and also asked her to update me from time to time.  I really enjoyed the read.  I know you guys will have a tough job on your hands, but I trust you will be greatly rewarded personally for your efforts.  I am sorry to advise that I will not be able to attend, short of Divine Intervention that would have me travelling to the US next summer at the exact time of the event.  

Life is pretty darn good for me.  Over the past several years, I?ve enjoyed living and working in China, Singapore and now Australia.  Certainly a few challenges along the way, but also great adventure and understanding of other cultures.   

I look forward to hearing about the ongoing organizing of the reunion, and wish you and your team the best.  I?ll also be keen to see a few pix from the gathering.  I have attached a recent photo for your montage.  Cheers Mate!
