Hi all,

I must have missed a couple of digests.  What's this about Katherine
Detwyller receiving a Margaret Mead award?  Congratulations!!
That's truly outstanding.  Margaret Mead is one of my heroes -
right up there with Niles Newton.  Hmmm, maybe we should have a
Niles Newton award.

About human milk for baby eyes, I have a couple of references.  I
understand Dr. Jay Gordon uses human milk for baby eyes, ears,
nose in his private practice.  It would be nice to have him on-line
for a comment/description.  Anyone have his e-mail?
