Just a quick note - firstly thank you Barrett, I'm sure we can all say we'll do our best to help you and carry the Project forward in any way we can.
Also, while I have all your attention, I would like to say that Kenneth Lipp is in hospital in Cambridge, England, about to undergo his second back surgery in as many days - just had a message from him to say there is something wrong which they can't image post operatively and need to go back in to investigate. Kenneth has a history of back problems and has already had quite a few surgeries. I'm sure you all wish him well as I do and I don't know why I'm saying all this except I'm a bit worried and want to share it.
Love to you all, Emma x
