Dear John and the List,
I can only second the sentiments in your posting: the NASS
Conference was a true delight. It was a joy to attend, to meet you and all
the old and new friends, and to learn so much!!
As a one-time mathematician, I revel in the mathematical
articles, but I do see your point, and a balance should be sought. That,
of course, depends on those who would send articles to Fred. The
Compendium is usually fairly meaty, and I'd be eager to keep it so, and
may even try my hand at an article.
John, I plan (after we get settled in from the trip) to learn
more from you and other sources about working in stone. I was very much
impressed by your exhibit and talk. So, expect further questions.
With the best of wishes to all,
Yours,
John
