Dear Friends,

It’s finally here! Dr. Clark’s Syncrometer Science Laboratory Manual, Experimental procedures for biological investigations using syncrometry, plus applications in Plate-Zapping and other new zapping techniques for cancer therapy, 2000 (172 pages — 101 more pages than the Preliminary Edition, which had 71 pages). Dr. Clark tells me; "the bugs are out of the plate zapping technique to the point where it is people-friendly and can be done without making mistakes." (Call us to order your copy at $19.95 plus shipping.)

For those of you who, like myself, enjoy reading interesting bits of history about our favorite people, I have enclosed, with permission, Dr. Clark’s holiday message (on the following page) that she sent to her family and friends in December 2000. Below is the Dedication section of her lab manual, which complements her holiday message.

To my parents, Jacob Peter Regehr and Maria Loewen Regehr who fled Russia during the Russian revolution. Arriving in Canada in 1926, their economic hopes were high but were soon dashed by the Great Depression. Yet their cultural standards endured, namely education and achievement. Mealtime was the opportunity and sounding board for new ideas. My father regularly discussed his latest inventions, asking for input by any of his young children. My mother encouraged and praised his ideas and achievements. She reiterated, almost daily, the importance of education. And so these parents, despite abject poverty, and many years on Relief, raised a family of 5 children, all of whom would graduate from college. They showed me that the joy of imagination, creativity and plain work can surmount extreme stress and pain in life’s circumstances, in much the same way as religion and philosophy have over the course of human history. They also treasured music and any kind of intellectual activity. Their teaching and example were my priceless heritage.
