Dear Colleagues;

Well I'm back from my Australia adventure.  Needless to say,  I found Australia
absolutely wonderful.  It is a beautiful country, with the warmest, most
accommodating people I have ever experienced.  I may just retire there, I'm
certaining going to go back for a visit.

The ALCA conference in Tasmania was really superb.  Sue Cox did a wonderful job
of running this conference.  Most of the lectures were simply fantastic and I
really enjoyed meeting many new experts and hearing their lectures. I've been
to hundreds of conferences,  but this was one of the best.

My thanks to Sue and Harry Cox for their generosity and kindness.

Friends,  save your money and lets all go to Australia for an ILCA conference.
Its really wonderful.

Tom Hale
