I sent a customized International System Ruler (along with a bumber sticker) to you in the mail today. Please keep your eye open for the envelope. I sent it to your PO Box 751 at Portland State University. I hope that is OK with you. I hope you show the ruler to some of your students. I am glad to know that I made your day. You also made my day with your reaction! Are you aware of the U.S. Metric Association? www.metric.org Are you a member? ----- Message from Scott Burns <bur...@pdx.edu> --------- Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2014 15:29:38 -0700 From: Scott Burns <bur...@pdx.edu> Subject: Re: Your TV Interview on Chile Quake To: cont...@metricpioneer.com
David - Great for hearing from you! You made my day with your comment! I too like using the metric! I push it all of the time in my classes. Keep up the great work!

I appreciate that you said 18 cm instead of dumbing it down with inches. I am an advocate of the SI and I am trying to persuade Americans to complete our national metrication efforts.
