[List for Members of QSAR and Modeling Society]

Praha, March 26, 07
Dears:
thanks for remembering Yvonne Martin!

I shall not be at the ACS this week. However. we had
already met with Yvonne at the start of QSAR even here
in Praha at the 1st European QSAR Symposium and many
times more from those pioneer years.
 I appreciate very much, indeed, if you could give my
best wishes to Yvonne at this occasion of your
meeting!

Friendly greetings Milon Tichy.
