Great News: John Erickson was the recipient of a successful cornea transplant in his left eye on August 14. John comments that while his vision is still changing as he adjusts, his uncorrected vision now is much better than it was before with glasses. John is out skiing and loving Colorado again. Awesome, baby!

People on the move: Terri Herrington is living in London and updated us on all on what she misses most.

It is a big change from research, regulatory or strategy, but the people are great and there is never a dull moment. Somebody has to go out and earn that money that (fellow EMP-39 teammate) Andy Kuchan is promising to all of our investors!"
