It was wonderful to hear from Dr. Chen Chao-Huei of Taichung Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan on Lactnet and to be reminded of the wonderful time I spent visiting with her earlier this year. She is a very special person and she has done wonderful things for breastfeeding in Taiwan - though it is certainly an uphill battle. Her book on breastfeeding for mothers is wonderful and beautifully illustrated. We have bought some copies to give to our occasional Chinese-speaking patients. I am delighted to welcome her and hope we will hear from her often. I offer my assistance to Dr. Chen and all of my good friends in Taiwan in any way I can. Larry Gartner Lawrence M.
