DR W.H.LE RICHE
It is very kind of you to send me a 93rd birthday card, quite unexpected. The universities like Wits (and of Toronto) have of recent years done what American Universities have done for years. They are talking to staff and students and telling them they are doing a good job. In Toronto the administration has found their many wealthy alumni were just waiting to be appreciated. One family has almost now made a hobby of enduring Professorships. I have 3 degrees from Wits: BSc; MBBch; MD (Research by Thesis) Harvard MPH (cum laude) Rockerfeller fellowship. Friends in SA have submitted my biography to WiRi report. I do not know how to use the computer; I could not see the first screen properly. Too shot sighted. I like your book reviews in Wits Review but I cannot locate the exact address of Witwatersrand University Press, as I would like to order a book or two. I am sending a cheque for $500for Wits
