Dear Majah,
I am sorry it has taken so long to let you know about the quarterly
medical trips to Utirik.
First, I should tell you that Dr. Knudsen is
voluntarily accepting another position here at Brookhaven and will be
leaving the islands by January.
We are very sorry about his leaving since
he is a good doctor and he and his wife, Liv, have tried to help the
Rongelap and Utirik people as much as they could, I hope the people
of Utirik will ask Dr. Knudsen to return.
If you/do he will be willing
to visit your island for examinations in September and December.
In the
meantime we are interviewing physicians who may be able to take over his
responsibilities.
My best wishes to the people of Utirik.
