“Dear Jean-Pierre,
I wanted to thank you again for the kind invitation to speak at the Andre-Delambre Symposium.  For my part, this is still one of the premiere ALS meetings in the world.  It provides such a unique opportunity to interact in a most enjoyable and lively manner – it was quite invigorating.”
