Every day we hear the news from Japan and see the devastation and feel colossal sympathy for the thousands of people affected. But we also hear reports and see images of orderly, polite and humane behaviour, so admirable under these severe circumstances. It seems you are a race of steadfast people both humble and courageous and I am sure I am not alone here in feeling proud of your strength, and also privileged to be friends and to work together.

Much sympathy and very best wishes,

Margaret
