[SEMCO] [Whc] Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin!

[Jack & Ruth Pearce]

Bob,


In September there is to be a symopsium held in Darwin, NW  Australia in which the world's scientific communities and others honor the Great Darwin and his accomplishments. I don't have details and costs yet but will fill you in when I do.

A close friend, long deceased, may also be honored at the same time. If the economy and health allow I would to go.

Cheers, Jack Pearce
