One year 2009 filled well, marked by the premature disappearance of one of our colleagues, plunged into mourning also by dramatic accident on RD 6580. Such events should encourage us to put into perspective our "quarrels"

Will, enthusiasm and tolerance are so much virtues which we have to to show to approach 2010 with serenity.

A nice and good year of 2010.
