[Stoves] Congratulations

[adkarve]

Dear Dean,
thanks a lot for the congratulations. My wife and I returned from London
today morning and throughout the day I have been answering congratulatory
telephone calls. I am overwhelmed by the publicity that this award has given
to our Institute. Because our biogas plant is not based on dung, it can be
used by anybody. Even people in England showed interest in our biogas
system.
Yours
A.D.Karve
