   Phil, FYI.  Tom Wigley is officially retiring June 20.  We will have a low key celebration
   for him on Aug 14.   I am not expecting you to come but you may want to organize some
   tribute from UEA CRU, and if you have any comments you'd like me to make on your behalf, I
   would gladly do that.
   Cheers
   Kevin

Bill
I have discussed this now with Tom and the decision is to request from
CGD some funds to support an "afternoon tea" on Aug 14 to celebrate
Tom's career and retirement (even though he will continue working).
Lisa will provide a budget in due course.
Thanks
Kevin
