Dear Anne-Mette We don't see each other too often - however, we would miss exchanging news around Christmas time.

Except for minor things we are very fine and enjoy the freedoms that retirement and solid health allow us. This includes working for our social projects (ie www.ghanavision.ch), travelling and commitment to our growing families.

Meanwhile we are now grandparents six times over - and since all our kids all live nearby, this sometimes means quite busy times. Sometimes tiring (so that you wonder how you could do it when your kids were young and you worked full time), but always rewarding.

We travelled to Scotland, Italy and I cycled from Geneva to Ventimiglia across the French Alps. There are many new ideas and we hope, we will find enough time (not so easy) and energy (easy) to persue them.

Turning 70 next March is nothing to worry about, but the reason for a major party.

We wish you and your family Merry Christmas and all the best in the new Year.

Love Peter and Danielle
