Health awards

[Louise H. Forsyth]

Dear colleagues,

What great ideas these are from Sherrill and Richard. Can we keep them
moving, generate more? Should we plan a discussion of this for next year's
meeting at Laval?

Now is the time to make archives folks, CIHR folks, federal/ provincial and
university funding folks, as well as ourselves, aware of what our real
contributions to society and our real material needs are.

Cheers to all,

Louise Forsyth
