As you make your birthday wishes, may they all come true! It's been 10+ years since I first walked into your office looking for a graduate research advisor. What a pleasure is has been to know you, to have learned from you, and to have grown because of you. Happy 40th Birthday. May God continue to bless you with many more!
Regards,
Alveda J. Williams
P.S. I never told you this, but it's worth sharing for this occasion. As one of only a few African-American graduate students in Chemistry at UIUC, I was pretty popular with the NOBCChE undergraduates for a number of reasons. They looked to me as a mentor... a tutor... but they were most impressed with the fact that I worked for "Sexy Gupta". :-)
