The newly appointed director of Clinics
Cardive Publishing, Prof Paul Brink,
celebrated his 60th birthday in October.
This milestone was celebrated with a
theme party ‘a trip down memory lane’.
The guests dressed up for the occasion
and much fun was had by all.
While enjoying the fruits of his labours
so far, at this turning point in his life, we
also wish Prof Brink great success for
the future in his new endeavours.
