Hi Steve,
Thank you, as we sure put a lot of extra effort in to it with long hours and
months away shooting.

At the moment the jury is still out on the medical women's re-action.
However, I have a luncheon today with a couple of doctors, male-female who
were instrumental in making it happen locally, so we'll see.

The big test will be when the women who are on the pages see it and re-act!
;-)

Consensus by non-medical people... but photo people....."it's a smashing
great success!" Comments like, great re-productions, well made book feel,
perfect size to handle and look at pictures. Well laid out and the writing
aspect is absolutely super.

All this within a few days of showing it around. So we're feeling pretty
good at the moment. However, we'll be holding our breathe until our peers
make their comments good, bad or ugly. :-) Then we can relax. Notice I said,
"then we can relax," as I do not expect any bad or ugly comments. ;-)

>>one that I know will do justice to the fantastic women who have made
> medicine their career.<<<<<<<<

I have to add to your comment about fantastic women. Boy all of the women we
worked with, those in the book and those who didn't make it, were all super
first class ladies, helpful, enthusiastic, caring and keen like all get out.
They opened doors to hospitals for us all over the country and then some.

GP's who work from small offices opened their place, called others to make
life much easier in a subject where  "patient concern for privacy" is
paramount. Yet we never had a problem as all were wonderfu to work with.

And I cannot leave off without thanking you very much for your personal
introduction to 5 wonderful women doctors at the Phoenix Childrens' Hospital
and opening the doors to that facility. Without friends like yourself across
the country doing things like this I know our project would've been, without
question, an almost immpossible task.

Thank you very much my friend.
