Jim-

Good to hear from you.  All is well here.

Thanks for forwarding this on.  They look like an impressive group.  

It is possible we have a conflict on this with another project in China.  Let me quickly run the traps on that and be back to you on Monday on whether it makes sense to meet with Cathy Zheng.  I don’t want to waste her time if it isn’t something we can do.  

Thanks again for passing this on and thinking of us.  Have a good weekend and I’ll be back in touch.

Best,

Eric
