Glad you liked the presentation. I'll be visiting Carnegie next week,
but won't actually migrate until September. Let's try to get together
at the beginning of the summer.

I haven't  heard of the  Koppelman notes  you're referring  to.   I'd
greatly appreciate  a copy  (or a  pointer where  to find  them); the
quantity of good material on that subject is surprisingly small.

The  Gian-Carlo Rota project sounds like an  ideal task for me at the
present time.  A final draft of my thesis should be  ready by 1 July,
and after that I'll have plenty of "writing" time free.  Please speak
to his committee for me.

Let me express my thanks for the SUMEX facility.   Part of my success
depended on the large quantities of available cpu time, the excellent
up-time record, the helpful systems  people.  There is no  comparison
between SUMEX and SAIL (where even text editing can't be done because
of  the absurd system load, where  the down-time is typically several
hours each day). You should be very proud of your system.

Regards,
Doug
