I would like to begin this column by sharing information about Harry Moody, our 2005 NCSL International President's health condition. As some of you may have heard, Harry experienced a heart attack in late November, and on December 6th, Harry underwent heart bypass surgery. At the time of this writing, he is doing fine and is on the mend. Harry does not like to draw attention to himself generally, so I hope he will forgive me for letting his many friends in the metrology community know how he is doing. I hope that you will all join me in wishing him a speedy recovery. My mind is awhirl as I contemplate the honor of being NCSL International President in the year that our organization celebrates our 45th Anniversary. As I look to the long list of the NCSL International Presidents that have preceded me and consider their great accomplishments, I am motivated to provide the leadership necessary to continue our traditions and programs associated with "serving the world of measurement."
