Dear Hossein,
I am pleased that you liked the Congress 60 smoking cessation blog I posted on my website. It was viewed more than 1,000 times the first day it was posted and is generating a lot of discussion and follow-up emails to which I am responding.
Tell me more about the transition to the new office. This is the first time I recall you mentioning this.
Congratulations to the more than 300 individuals that have been earned to co-guide shawl. I enjoyed the photos you send of the shawl ceremonies. The preparation and exams you are using are a great approach to developing future leaders within Congress 60.
I have been sick this past week with an infection, but hope to return to work soon and continue work on your interview. Thank you for your patience in waiting for the draft for your review. I am learning that it takes longer to recovery from these sicknesses as I age, but I am blessed that they only rarely happen and then usually following travel where I am exposed to a lot of people.
When the “14 articles” book is translated, I will be a great honor for me to write a preface for it.
Do keep me posted on the retention research you are conducting with Iran drug control headquarters. Retention is a critical issue here in the United States as more than half of people admitted to addiction treatment do not successfully complete that treatment episode. I look forward to hearing more about how you have enhanced retention within Congress 60.
Friends and Brothers Forever,
Bill
