Terry and Rose, 
Are you still slugging away or have you decided to retire like most of our generation?  I just attended my OSU CVM 46th reunion in Bar Harbor, Maine, and the vast majority of classmates have hung it up.  Unfortunately, I'm still at it 7/365, but I'm hoping to step back a little in January '24 when my replacement finishes her PhD program.  My associate vet left us about a month ago for the attractions of private practice, so I'm running solo for a while.  Actually, I think I'd hire another vet tech before another vet due to healthy nature of our resident populations.  

I'm on the ACVM exam committee for the parasitology subspecialty, and I have to chair that beast for the next two years.  Easily the toughest thing I do all year.  

We recently finished a dog study with Zoetis and have a couple more coming up soon; I hope your daughter is still enjoying the R&D side.  

Please drop me a line when you get a chance, and let me know how things are going in the frigid north.  Best wishes to Rose, CRR
