To be here today to celebrate prices former presidency of the American History association. The first eha meeting price and i went to was 1980 in boston. My wife and i were in graduate school. We didnt have much money. My wife and i shared a room with price. [laughter] i said that in the right order. [laughter] and i dont even remember who the president was in 1980, i tried to go online and i couldnt find out. Maybe we should put past president s on the website. And then i thought, i dont need to talk much about price because Everybody Knows who price is. And we had no idea who people were the first time we went. There were three of us from the university of washington, and none of the faculty was there. We had a lot of historians but nobody was there. Price and i and my wife terri, it was like being on survivor. We were on this island. Now, the hpa does a better job taking care of grad students. But i realize there is a bunch of you who know who price is, but you really dont know. So

So, even if youve been sick once, get a flu shot if you havent gotten one already because it is possible to get sick again. And while School Absentee rates are higher than normal theres no reason for any of the schools to close because of this. And there are also other viruses going around this time of year. As for the flu we expect high levels of the virus to stick around for several more weeks so you want to make sure that youre washing your hands with soap and water frequently, wipe down common surfaces with a disinfectant and of course cover all coughs and sneezes with your elbow or with a tissue. You want to do what you can to protect yourself. Rick
