Peggy, Thank you for your very nice thoughts. It's a pleasure to hear from you. If I did a decent job in my position as RAS president, I attribute that to your leadership as my predecessor. You offered superb guidance and demonstrated by your dedication, diligence, hard work, and great example how one should proceed in carrying out the mission and goals of a professional association.
All the best, Elliot On Thu, Sep 1, 2022 at 11:22 AM Peggy Pearlstein <peggypearlst...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Elliot: > > So good to hear from you. Your award is well deserved.
