[Steering] Happy New Year!

[Barbara F. McManus]

Many, many congratulations, DOCTOR Irvin!  This is indeed good news, and 
well-deserved.

I wish I had good news to report, but unfortunately at the beginning of 
November I was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic colon cancer (a great 
surprise to me and my doctors, since I had had an apparently "clean" 
colonoscopy only three years ago and had no symptoms).  My time since 
then has been taken up with tests, surgery, and now chemotherapy.  
Things are settling down now and I can get things done on the good days 
between chemo treatments.

I agree that we need to make changes in the Consortium and do something 
relevant to our mission with the approx. $4000 that is still in our 
treasury.  Best to all, Barbara
