Hey, Paul Filmer! Where are you, now? Did you know we had a NUGWASH meeting
a couple of weeks ago, in honor of Anthony Velasco, who was in the area? Was
a good meeting and a few people did show up. I'm thinking that we should try
to set up some kind of an agenda the next time we meet. Do some presentation
or something. I find that the free form format of our meetings is starting
to wear off. Just a thought...
Glad to see you back!
-Laurent.
