Dear Mr. Larson:

I greatly appreciate AAPS awarding me the Charles Sternberg scholarship for studies in vertebrate paleontology. My Ph.D. thesis project was looking a little too ambitious before I received the award, but you have nudged it into the realm of the possible. The funds will extend my research time in China and Mongolia, which is crucial for my thesis. I will be sure to keep you and the AAPS board informed about my research, and send you reprints of everything I publish. Thank you for understanding the plight of graduate students and for supporting us.

Sincerely,


Sunny Hwang
