Your sly innuendos about my rest cure in the Marshall Islands wae duly noted,
Believe me, {t was a strain to be there because we ran out of bourbon on the

last day and you know how I am when I don't get my morning nip.

Serfouslylhowever, we had a very successful trip and picked up some more thyroid
nodules, and noted retardation in growth in some of the children who were exposed
eleven years ago when they were between six months and one year of age.
I am planning to attend the Nuclear Medicine meeting in Florida in June and trust
you will be able to be there. I think fit would be nice if you brought Jean
along. You know how I am (or reported to be) with my friends' wives.
Please let me know when you have completed the calculations on these sera.
With kindest regards,

Sincegely yours,
