One of the advantages of being a short guy is with all the six footers
around I could easily move up to the front with no one realizing it. I think
I have photos of mitral MICS with a view nearly as good as the operators !!
Roberto was such a fantastic host and Herzzentrum was such an exciting place
to be. Incidentally Roberto cooked such excellent pasta and I managed to eat
real Argentine caramel pancakes !!!
