• Sir Fraser Stoddart 2016 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Thanks for your Christmas Cheer!
• Tatiana Pavlova - Researcher, Prokhorov General Physics Institute of RAS It was great to receive the Christmas newsletter from you again. Happy New Year to all your family!
• Dr. Christian Joachim - Many Affiliations France Thanks for your email. A very happy new year to you and your family.
• Neil J Curson Professor of Nanoelectronics and Nanofabrication - University College London: Thanks for circulating your annual family email. It s as entertaining as always. I m glad to hear that Zyvex has been successful with funding over the last year and is still doing nice work.
• Dr. Thomas Barlow Sydney Australia . It was a tonic to read your cheering news; and it strikes me as somehow a relief and an extremely auspicious sign for the year ahead to observe that Ashley is much better at throwing axes than knives.

• Professor Shalom Wind, Columbia University I am always happy to hear from you around this time of year. I hope things will improve over the course of the next year, and we will be able to get out and around more and perhaps catch up somewhere/sometime.
• Prof. Orlando Auciello UT Dallas Thanks for the messages. I wish you and your family a Happy Holidays and safe New Year May the New Year bring new opportunities. Warm Regards.
• Irma Kuljanishvili PhD, Associate Professor and Chair Department of Physics, St. Louis University Enjoyed the link a lot. Its good to hear how we all are coping best we can with this unusual "new normal", but still going strong!
• Dr. Thomas Krenik - Texas Instruments It is always wonderful to receive these updates and thank you as always for writing this up. Our puppy has also discovered that christmas tree ornaments make for a unique chewing experience and thus the christmas tree is now elevated. Glad to hear things are moving well.
• Nathan Dodge, Retired UTD Lecturer, Current SiFi Writer John, always happy to hear from the Randall family. You are certainly one of the most unusual and interesting clans of which I am familiar. Your comings and goings and stayings are always noteworthy and entertaining. I have already begun to pursue my lifetime dream job, that of writing science fiction novels. Since my first publisher debuted my initial novel in 2018, I have sold a total of 13 novels, with three more committed to my two publishers. Not bad for an 81-year-old ex-engineer and teacher, right? Best wishes for a fruitful 2022. Stay healthy and keep on keeping on!
