Well, 2001 has truly been an unusual year for many of us -- some things good and some not so good.  Whatever your own situation, I just wanted to say to you that I hope that you do have a very Merry Christmas, and hopefully, a wonderful and happy 2002.

We plan to continue our HNG Alumni luncheons in the Spring and Fall of 2002, but just do not have any definite plans as to how we will be able to communicate and mail to you as we have in the past.  The situation at Enron has affected our organization also.

Will look forward to seeing you in the Spring.

Leon Ullrich
