    A morning greeting from our dear ATRC colleague Dr Lihua Jiang-Qin, New York
    "Dear all,
    A morning greeting from Lihua first.
    This summer reminds me of our Fosano days again because we were enjoying our refreshing trip in Fosano at the same time every year. It's still a pity that I could not swim in the lovely pool, but the Pantomimi play, the Italian flavor spaghetti and the nice cakes from the sweet neighbor, the get-together with you guys and our walk under the stars in Fosano... I'm just missing all of you in the mid-summer!
    Wish you a lovely summer season!
    Love from Lihua "  [email, 30 July 2009]
