David Burns, NCSCE Executive Director Emeritus, recently wrote a letter on the occasion of the 2017 SENCER Summer Institute, as he celebrated his 70th birthday with his family in Italy. SSI 2017 participants received the note with their registration materials, but we also wanted to share the note with the larger community, as many of you have been asking after David.
