No special news about this spanish fellow either: just enjoying his first year of retirement. And there are many things to enjoy! But, of course, there is always time to welcome any news from the good old fellows. My wife, however looking still as good as in the classic Peter Diem's photographs of years ago, is also retired nowadays; you know, these are the public service policies almost everywhere. We both are now a quiet couple living in the outside of town, taking care of our old relatives and sometimes, if not very often, thinking of the good moments and friends of those worthwhile, still recent professional years. We both
thank you very much, Peter, for carrying the torch.
