Dear List Members, I am glad to see this. I have been corresponding with Reinaldo off-list, and consider him to be a new friend and colleague. We have been sharing quite a bit about our individual life's work, and I can tell you that from the little bit I know about the man, I have a lot left to learn from him. He has listened to everything I have to say seriously and with respect.
