We wish to thank Dr. Gerald Seaburn for his service as Executive Director of AIH for the past four years, and to thank his administrative staff, Cathie Seaburn and BJ Seaburn, for their skill and perseverance in accomplishing the tasks and goals of the Institute. The Seaburns rescued AIH from a difficult situation caused by the untimely death of our late administrator, Helen Klose. There was much to do to manage the affairs of the Institute from 2004 to present, and to bring things back into working order.
