Hotel Thayer, United States Military Academy at West Point,  N.Y.

Dear Colleagues:

I enthusiastically invite you to take part in our Fall Symposium.  We have
the renowned attorney, Mr. David Wiedis from the firm Jose and Wiedis,
who will present to us the many parts of a radiation litigation case and
will explain how this involves and affects the profession of Health
Physics.  Having seen his presentation once before, I strongly urge all
health physics professionals to attend.   Mr. John Kelly, Chairman of the
Professional Standards and Ethics Committee, will discuss the evolving
ethics code for the American Academy of Health Physics.  This ethics
code will affect CHPs testifying as expert witnesses.  I expect a very
interesting day of discussion.

Once again, we are able to hold the symposium at the Hotel Thayer at the
U.S. Military Academy in West Point.  The hotel and surrounding areas
offer an ideal setting, perfect for our Fall Symposium Series.

I look forward to seeing you all there. Thank you for your continued
interest and support.

Sincerely,
James Barry
President Elect, GNYCHPS
