Open letter from Miette Verlinden:

Greetings to my IAC and UNICA friends.
I regret not having been able to be in Chesterfield for the I.A.C. festival.
Due to the chemotherapy I have to undergo, my physical condition was not good enough.
But I do hope to be able to attend the UNICA congress in Luxemburg in August.

Miette Verlinden
