Adele,

This seems like an historical collection of facts and data, complemented by modern imaging techniques, rather than anything new.

It was extremely well done and I love your choice of picture. I love the brain as you are probably aware by now, mostly fat you know, so when people call you a fat head they are pretty well right and thank God for it.

Without that fat [myelin] we'd all be pretty slow.

Ha! I didn't know the brain was mostly fat. I learn something new every day.

The artist did an excellent job with the nerve cells.
