Thanks you for the great week. It was really splendid, and for me, both enhanced my tai chi and also provided glimpses of what might be achieved with practice. Plus touring the Island was quite a treat. It hardly feels as if I am doing the same form as I was just 2 weeks ago! Dr. H. Poizner, New Jersey, August, 2001
