From Jackie & Wale Akinpelu

Diane,

Happy Birthday and congratulations on reaching such a momentous milestone (we should know, since we both reached it before you!!). It’s so great to think that our friendship has stood for almost 43 years (almost half a century!), and we have the opportunity to share this moment with you. 

We hope you are enjoying your new home – we are excited to see it when we visit you in July. Could you ever have believed when you started your career that you would actually be living at Bell Labs (although it may have felt that way when you are putting in those long hours at work!)?

Anyway, we wish you all the best and hope that your birthday is everything that you wish.

Love,

Jackie and Wale
