I recently retired from a senior position in the Australian Public Service as the CEO of the Defence Materiel Organisation. (The spelling is correct) I have attached a link to the speech I made in the Australian Senate Estimates on Wednesday 25 February 2015 announcing my retirement and in which I have tried to increase the awareness of CLS and to thank Arturo, Dr Druey and Dr Randall my immunoligist in Australia for their work. http://www.defence.gov.au/dmo/NewsMedia/DMONews/Statement-From-CEO-DMO-Warren-King Many thanks to all of you who have done so much to improve the understanding and treatment of this disease. Regards Warren King

I actually just read that speech yesterday, but didn't realize it was you. I wish you well in your retirement.

Congratulations Warren, From sunny old Melbourne, I wish to thank you humbly for your work. I also wish to thank you for being a lynch pin in ensuring IVIG availability. In addition, I thankyou for your acknowledgement of Arturo, and echo your words. I am interested in going in the Hawkesbury marathon in Nov. Interested? First we will need to build a canoe!? John

Hi John Know any builders?

Ha ha! Though my family have history with defence supply and also Voyager

Warren, thanks for sharing this and the best to you in the future!!!

thanks to you for helping to increase awareness of SCLS and best of luck in your retirement. Hope that canoe doesn't leak! :-)
